Wish your BIL's friend would have checked out MDA! Surgeons cut and when its gone it cant be put back. You know all this and too bad he hasnt reached out to you.

Ray, you are doing so much for your community by helping fellow survivors! Glad I was able to meet you while I was in San Antonio last year.

Your friend who doesnt want to go out in public will eventually adjust to her new normal. Being different isnt easy and people stare which can make someone feel so uncomfortable. After a while it gets easier. With you and Elizabeth to help her, she will be just fine smile
