Yes. she is very lucky, in my opinion. I'm going to save the "I told you so" for later

I do a lot of short commuting in a helmet, gloves, jacket, jeans and heavy work boots. I think I might just wear my leathers all the time after this. They wouldn't save my knee, but at least I wouldn't have a bunch of road rash to go with it.

My grandmother, who is still pretty young and mobile yet, and retired, has volunteered to live with her until she's good enough to be on her own. That will help out a lot. My wife (like my mom) is a teacher. She can help out quite a bit on summer break.
