Hello all, my former college roommate and good friend is in need of some help. Mary is going through some health issues right now. She has stage 3 kidney disease along with a new diagnoses avascular necrosis. Avascular Necrosis is a disease that results in permanent or temporary loss of blood supply to the bone. If the blood supply is cut off the bone tissue dies and bone collapses. She has lots of pain in her hips and will be going to have a surgical procedure soon. Mary will not be able to work for awhile after she has surgery. If you are able to contribute she would greatly appreciate it. Every little bit helps. Sending healing prayers to Mary!
