I think she wll do just fine. She is fairly young, just like the gal I replied to listenhillary just below you reply.
I will say prayers for your friend. I don’t mind the backaches as much as the things I couldn’t do well when I was younger. Like tennis,archery etc. Now that I am older I don’t mind as much. But now that I am riding horses again it is becoming a problem. It is too hot to wear 2 bras in the summer & too painful to bounce around. I am just too afraid of MRSA to get a reduction.
