She wears arm and leg prostheses and drives to her part-time job. I wrote a book about it, A Life Reclaimed, to share her inspiring story.

I can't imagine what a joy she went through just being able to get up from the bed she has been laying in for the past 2 months and to be able to go outside (one thing we all take for granted).

I just wanted to let you know that asking for second (and even third or fourth) opinions is always a good idea. This is such a rare disease that there's not much of a template for treating it and a plastic surgeon might have different recommendations than an orthopedic surgeon. I was told by multiple doctors that I should have my legs amputated below the knees, but my plastic surgeon was able to get me up and walking by just taking my toes.

I was surprised when I went to visit her on Saturday, to see her in such good spirits after all she's been through. I couldn't help but chuckle when she asked you to scratch her back and she let out a little "teehee" from the relieve she got while you were scratching her back. Hope everything goes well with her surgery and be assured that even though we may not be there physically, we are with you and your family in spirit and prayers.
