Shaela Leggett-Wilson posted a rather shocking and graphic photograph of a infected foot. Her mother had suffered this as a result of a pedicure and which would possibly result in her mother's having to undergo surgery to remove all of her toes and part of her foot:Ladies (and fellas) please take extra care when getting a pedicure. My mother's regular pedicurist quit her job, so Mom used someone else a few weeks ago. Now Mom is in ICU waiting to have surgery to remove all of her toes and part of her foot.

Mom had surgery this morning after several days of IV antibiotics and a couple of pints of blood. They removed her big toe but were able to save the rest of her foot. She is still in the hospital and in a lot of pain, but she is in good spirits and is thrilled (her word) to be going home soon.
