First of all there are many forms of IS, your signifigant other may be AIS but there are many other possibilities.

2nd, it is quite possible that your Signifigant other may have had an accident, so that doesnt mean she has AIS.

3rd, thank you for comming to the sight.

and finally 4th, If you care for her then just let her know that regardless of the accident/surgery that its not an issue for you. You love and care for her. It might even be advisavle to suggest that you'd like to learn more, and to tell her not to worry you will understand and accept her for her, regardless of surgeries/scars, or anything else. That you love her, care for her, and will always be there. That is what is important. Now then, a thing to remember is that many of us regardless of the cause do have some issues with sharing our histories, it takes time to learn to trust people, and often even more to learn to speak openly with others about our bodies. Knowing that someone cares and is willing to accept us for who we are is a great way to get a trusting respectfull bond developed. Give her a little time and just be there, she may share with you as you become more involved together.

thanks again for posting your questions. I am sure others will respond. Most posts here will only get responses when people post in it. Typically most questions get asked in the meeting room, which lowers traffic in the other threads.

Best Wishes
