My sister loves Soduko too, and word search puzzles. When she "sobers up" we will make sure she has lots to keep her busy.
I called to check on her a few minutes ago and my dad said he isn't sure what kind of pain medicine they are giving her, but he is convinced it is the secret to world peace. He said she is being very agreeable and the smile hasn't left her face yet! He said he was absolutely convinced that they were working and she was feeling no pain.
