An employee at Tammy’s Nails 2 in Tampa cut Clara Shellman’s foot during a pedicure in September 2018, the Tampa Bay Times reported. The cut became infected and spread quickly, partly because Shellman had severe peripheral arterial disease, a circulatory condition that causes narrowed blood vessels to reduce blood flow to the limbs, the newspaper said.

Shellman, 55, lost her home after being burdened by medical expenses from the amputation, the newspaper quoted her lawyer, Paul Fulmer, as saying. She needed help caring for herself and now is living with relatives, Fulmer said.

I don’t know. What DO you say to a one-legged hitchhiker?

Dark red or maroon most likely. Metallic jewel tones (deep purple, amber or greens) work too as a change of pace. :)

If big breasted women work at Hooters where do one legged women work? IHOP.

I once dated a one legged girl who worked at a local brewery.
She was in charge of the hops.

Did you hear about Kim Jong Un’s one legged girlfriend?
Her name is Irene Sum.

Tammy’s Nails sounds like a real clip joint.

What I wonder about is what happened to home manicures and pedicures? Also, can’t understand all the clip in extensions/weaves which cause hair damage or loss. And the spackled on makeup or botox/fillers. The one that really stands out is the false glue on lashes, which have to be setting oneself up for vision damage. Also, if you,re pale, got to have the fake/bake tan. Beauty is a b**tch.

A typical small business umbrella policy is $2mm. I’m also guessing that law suits of this type tend towards the full amount of those policies and not above them. It’s kinda like how housing prices tend to flatten around the limits of the Federal guarantees.

# facts would be nice. How long did it take for situation to get serious? Assuming she knew she had PAD, was she warned by doctor to be especially cautious about infections? Was her delaying to get timely medical care a factor?

Yeah. I find it really hard to give the idiot $1.75M, when the actual issue was probably 90% her fault.
