I'm sure she is - it's just an odd choice of photo to include in an article about what was a horrible and, I'm sure, life-changing mauling?I am sure that she is totally narced. Had a friend who lost part of a hand in an accident. He was on heavy pain killers for some time afterwards.

Did you notice how much jewelry she is wearing in the pict? A huge swallowing bite may have been attracted by a large sparkling bracelet. That's why divers remove all jewelry before splashing... what's left of her arm a little weird?...
Did you notice how much jewelry she is wearing in the pict? [/QUOTE:Is there more than one picture? I can only see medical bracelet. Her extreme pale arm could have looked like a fish belly. It is an unusual attack, and I am hoping the cruise line/ resort looks into what would make the area safer without hunting local sharks.
