Thank you, everyone, for your comments and suggestions. Maybe we can open the door for others to discuss these things that may be difficult.

My sister was here over the Thanksgiving holiday. Her therapist had suggested *doing something* with her hands....she collected horsehair off the barbed wire fence to take home and "mess" with. This was something specifically mentioned by the therapist.

My sister is into crafty things...who knows; maybe she'll create something interesting to sell!
