Sigh. :
My former co-worker and really good friend was in a bad car accident a couple of days ago. She did some major damage to her knee which had to completely be replaced and she's going to have a very long recovery ahead of her during which time she won't be able to work or go back to school. She's still in the hospital and probably will be through the weekend and perhaps into next week. She has a three year old autistic daughter and an infant son and her husband works full-time, but I don't think he makes quite enough to keep them going until she's back on her feet again. I'd like to do something for her, but I don't want to do something as overt as giving her money, although I know she and her family could probably use it now. I just got a bonus check from work and I would love to just cash it and give it to her, but she's the type who would be very embarassed to accept a gift like that and I certainly don't want to do anything to make her feel insulted or offended.
She's a very good friend and I want to do something for her, I'm just not quite sure what...
I'd really appreciate ideas from folks of what would be nice, but not insulting...
