Can you tell us a little bit about how your friendship began and how it grew over time?

It began as she was a patient and I was working as the director of the rehab center.

Uh, so it was an uneven r- relationship at that time, but she was really dedicated to, uh, getting artificial legs and because one of her legs was an above-knee amputation, that makes it harder to walk than if you had just below-knee amputations.

But she was dedicated.

She w- worked really hard.

[laughs] And sh- she was began to get recognized among our, our other staff people.

And so when, once she was walking on her legs, s- somebody on the staff suggested to me that we hire her, and that seemed very appropriate at the time.

Can you talk about what it took to get from that kind of breakdown moment to, to action?
