Hi Jean Ann!!!! .So he had twisted toes...like arthritis right? She had corns...prob had smelly feet from bacteria over load....really thick nails ....and lots of corns right? Oh and deep ridges in her nails which could just be from her shoes hitting the nails since her toes go in diff directions. Also Pincer nails where the hyponichium grows close....... Personally these are the types of people I take care of on a reg basis. It does not sound like you mention anythang close to "infection". Just really scary to look at huh.
You did everythang right. It was so nice of you to work on her in such a scary condition. Poor lady. My ladys treat me like part of there family's lolol I also have a client with twisted toes on my site just like the one you mention. It makes my heart glad to help them :) On Thu, Jan 22, 2009 at 6:53 PM, Jean Ann Tucker <[email protected]>wrote: > Okay Tech's, this is my first posting.
