Noel Neill Update

Biographer and manager of Noel Neill, Larry Ward has provided an update on her condition:
Noel Neill Update
Dear Friends:

Noel was doing moderately well enough recently that she was transferred from the physical therapy center to an assisted living facility in Tucson. Unfortunately, yesterday Noel unexpectedly fell from her wheelchair, necessitating an MRI.

Thankfully there were no broken bones, but her fall set her back considerably in her recovery. To that end, in a long talk with her doctors, it was agreed that Noel's road to recovery has just gotten longer and more difficult and it will be many months before she will be able to once again become mobile.

Also in this equation will be her inability to travel anytime soon. What this means is that Noel's long-awaited 90th Birthday Party (long-awaited by us, but not necessarily by Noel) has been cancelled, and it would not be prudent to attempt to reschedule this private event.

Noel was well-aware of the party, and I think she was probably working too hard to recover too soon, mostly by trying to do her own physical therapy - never a good idea.

Well, the pressure is off her now, so perhaps she can attempt to recover in a more relaxed manner and not try to overdo it.

As I have said previously, all we can do at this stage is help Noel become more comfortable and encourage her in her efforts to recover.

Larry .
