Three days after nearly being killed, Nicole Cswercko sat in her hospital bed, wearing fuzzy socks and chewing Big Red gum.
Childhood friend Mary Hackett, 20, and other former high school soccer teammates brought Cswercko a gift basket. Cswercko was already cracking jokes.
“She’s very mentally strong,” Hackett said. “She’s always been that way.”
On July 7, Cswercko was abducted from her day care job, beaten and stabbed. Several good Samaritans saved her from her assailant, and she then spent eight days in the hospital recovering.
