In the early hours of 7 December 2010, a garbage truck reversed into Ching Yee while she was on her scooter. She fractured her pelvis on both sides, broke several ribs and suffered other lesser but needless to say still painful injuries. Doctors advised recovery would involve at least six weeks in hospital lying on her back at an incline of no more than 30 degrees. This page is for her friends to share pictures and comments to help put a smile on her face and inspire her to draw.

A little bird for CY
When I found this little honey-eater the day it fell out of it's nest, it had broken tail, patches of bare skin with ants all over it, and it couldn't even hold it's head up. A few days later it had a verocious appetite, and was wobbling in and out of it's 'bed'. A week later it could take small flights ot land on the floor. Now (a month later), it's flying around my room. It totally reminds me of you CY!
It's tail feathers are still crooked, and it isn't strong enough to fly outside yet, but it's a brilliant patient and is getting better in leaps and bounds :) xx Rosey

That is an awesome portrait Rosey! So good to hear the little bird is doing well, all thanks to you! I hope to recover as well as your honey-eater too and we can fly off together :)
