support group in AK

Post by tjones »

I haven't been here in awhile. My son had his surgery Monday, things went well, but they say it will take at least a year for any significant change. I was wanting to know if there is anyone else in the Anchorage/Mat Su Valley area of alaska that has gone through this. I believe it would help my son to meet someone else that has gone through this. As it is I had never even heard of BPI until the day after he was shot. This site has been great information, but it would be great to meet someone face to face. If anyone knows of anyone here please feel free to contact me.
