Today I got my hair trimmed and highlighted. The hairdresser and I got to talking about disabilities and she told me about some friend of hers whose daughter has a rare disease--she couldn't remember the name of it, just the initials and the symptoms: upon injury to a certain area of the body, the soft tissue in said area turns to bone. I came home and researched it and indeed, such a thing exists and is exactly what she said.
