Betty,

Now you have me looking at my arm, and you know what? It is hardly noticeable. My scar looked pretty bad for some time before it started to fade. They will not entirely disappear, but over time they will improve a great deal. Let her do as much for herself as she can, without overdoing. You can only be there for a short time and her being able to care for herself is a step toward normalcy and key to recovery.
