Though I can hardly blame her. What's she's gone through would send most people around the twist.

But even if she's a borderline - which it certainly sounds as if she is - why won't they fix her nose? Reconstructing noses is the oldest plastic surgery in the world. They've literally been doing it for thousands of years, since amputating noses has traditionally been done to heretics, thieves, and adulterers in many societies. I gather they won't do it until she starts acting "normal", but how the hey does one act normal when everyone's first reaction to one's appearance is to recoil?
