Rudy Reyes — burned over 65 percent of his body — can barely move his arms and legs and an operation last week to graft skin from his stomach to his right hand increased his use of painkillers. The 26-year-old barely escaped the blaze, forced to run to safety after his car wouldn't start. The rest of his family was unharmed. ... Reyes, a weightlifting buff, also has a harrowing tale and vivid memories of what happened ... "He told me to go and said he'd follow. He was more worried about me and my mom getting out in time than he was about himself."
