Why don't you tell her not to care what others think? My DH dropped a piece of plywood on his big toe last fall and "macerated" his toenail. It had to be pulled off and he only has 1/2 of one right now. He doesn't wear sandals ever, but it's obvious when we go to the pool. We don't care. There are too many people overly concerned with what others think of them.
