I want to invite anyone reading to comment on the website, or the blog. I am always looking for ways to improve it. A serious burn injury affects not only the burn survivor, but also the family and friends of the burn survivor. Our concept of safety, predictability, and control over our environment is challenged irrevocably. We can end up feeling much more vulnerable than before the burn.

Adjustment to the changes brought by being burned, disfigurement, loss of functionality, loss of identity, takes place over time. Each person is unique in how they approach these issues. For me, being burned continues to teach me about myself. Now after so many years I still find I have issues to explore involving the burn.

I would appreciate any thoughts you may have about any of the content of this blog, or the website.
