Unstoppable Growing Feet

Doctors can’t tell Mandy Sellars why her legs keep expanding – all they say is that her only option is a drastic amputation. She travelled to the US for a new TV show in search of an alternative...

It’s not easy being Mandy Sellars. She has hugely outsized legs that make having a normal life nearly impossible.

People stare whenever she leaves the house, she needs a special car to get around and can’t work full time.

What’s more, her condition is getting worse and doctors say she needs an amputation so severe she won’t be able to sit up.

And she doesn’t even know what’s caused it.








But the cheerful 33-year-old from Accrington, Lancs, just won’t be told. She’s challenged medics’ verdict and has just got back from America where she went to find a new treatment.

And now she’s on a mission to find out once and for all what’s the matter with her.

“As you can imagine the size of my legs and clubfoot make walking difficult and I need crutches just to get around my ground floor flat.

“And people can be very cruel. I was in a park a few months ago when a group of teens started pointing at me, they were saying to each other, ‘Look at the size of her legs.’

“I wish they could experience how it feels to have strangers laugh at you.

“I don’t mind curiosity – it’s the laughing and nudging that gets to me. ”

It’s no wonder some people stare. Mandy’s legs are wider than the average man’s waist and heavier than most women.

Her left leg is five inches longer than her right and has a clubfoot, which has turned 180 degrees backwards. She says: “I weigh about 20 stone – 15 of which are my legs.”

She has never had a firm diagnosis, but it could be linked to Proteus syndrome, which causes abnormal skin and limb growth. John Merrick, the Elephant Man, is believed to have had it.

“I use an electric wheelchair when I go out,” says Mandy.

“I live alone and what takes the average person half an hour takes me an hour, if not longer. Just getting dressed in the morning is a mammoth task.

“By the time I go into the kitchen to get breakfast, I can be exhausted. I can’t just pop to the shops, it all has to be planned.”

Mandy has a specially adapted hand-controlled car so she can still get out to meet friends and go round for a coffee and a chat.

“I try to lead a normal life but I do get frustrated,” she says. “The worst thing about my condition is that my mobility is getting worse and I have no control over it.”

When Mandy was born doctors gave her a week to live.

Her left leg was three inches longer than her right, and both were out of proportion. No one knew what her condition was or how to treat it.

Despite the odds, Mandy proved everyone wrong and at 18 months she began walking.

“I could never run as fast as my friends but I was still outside playing. I also learned to ride a bike but I kept the stabilisers on until I was 16.

“It’s embarrassing now when I think about it, but I didn’t care then,” she says laughing. “My legs started to grow when I was really small. I saw a lot of doctors, then when I was seven, one specialist told my mum I should have my legs amputated.”

Mandy’s mother June, 57, was horrified by the doctor’s suggestion and argued if her daughter could still run and play with friends there was no need to have her legs cut off.

“Mum was brave to stand up to the consultant. My parent’s have always been supportive and told me that I can do whatever I want to do.

“They realise that they won’t always be here and have encouraged me to be independent, so at 19 I left to live on my own.

Advertisement - article continues below »

“I was a normal teenager – I went out drinking, clubbing and ended the night with a kebab.”

After college Mandy went to the University of Central Lancashire where she gained a BSc in psychology.

“I’ve got a quick mind but a full-time job would exhaust me,” she explains. “But I like to make the most of life.”

She talks to friends over the internet every day and is in the middle of writing a book about her life.

She even finds the energy to head to the local RSCPA rescue centre once a week to clear out the rabbit hutches.

But her health keeps getting worse.

She has suffered arthritis, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and had a blood clot in her leg. She was paralysed from the waist down for two months.

“I had to learn to walk again which took three months,” she says.

“Three years later I bumped my leg and got a blood infection, then my kidneys then failed and I got MRSA.

“In all this time and during all of my visits to hospitals, I’ve never been given a definite diagnosis, except to be told it could be a form of this Proteus syndrome.

“No doctor has been investigated to any degree. I was beginning to believe I was the only woman in the world with it.”

The situation isn’t going to get better.

She says: “As my legs get heavier they’ll put a strain on my heart and internal organs.

“I know that amputation and prosthetic legs are my only option to save my life but I’m unhappy with what the UK experts told me.

“They said the only way to do the op would be to amputate my left leg from the hip and the right leg above the knee.

“But I wouldn’t be able to sit up and would be even more disabled than now.”

So when a TV production company contacted Mandy and said it wanted to make a documentary about her life, and take her to meet US specialists, she didn’t hesitate to say yes.

In the US she met renowned orthopaedic surgeon Dr William Ertl and prosthetic whizz Kevin Carroll.

The pair has worked together on many challenging cases and Carroll famously made a prosthetic tail for a dolphin.

“What they told me gave me hope,” Mandy says.

“They said I could have a far less severe amputation. Now I feel much better informed to make a decision about amputation.

The information I got in the US has been life-changing.”

Mandy also now has a UK doctor who is willing to search for the elusive diagnosis.

Geneticist Dr Susan Huson, from St Mary’s Hospital, Manchester, is determined to identify Mandy’s condition.

While amputation is inevitable and Mandy still faces the biggest dilemma of her life, she’s pleased that some day there may well be a condition in the medical books named after her.

“It could be called Sellars syndrome,” she smiles.

“Then I’d go down in history.”

Extraordinary People – The Woman With Giant Legs, next Thursday (August 21), at 9pm on Five.

Habitat se declara en suspensión de pagos

Es la segunda mayor del sector.- La deuda de 2.300 millones que arrastra fuerza el concurso de acreedores. -Colonial también amenaza con la insolvencia si no vende FCC, SFl y Riofisa

La inmobiliaria catalana Habitat ha presentado esta mañana en los juzgados de lo Mercantil de Barcelona la solicitud para el concurso voluntario de acreedores (antigua suspensión de pagos) con unas deudas de 2.300 millones de euros, según ha informado la compañía. Ésta ha sido la decisión final de la empresa que preside Bruno Figueras, que se veía incapaz de afrontar los pagos de los intereses del préstamo sindicado que pidió para comprar Ferrovial Inmobiliaria. Del pasivo de la empresa, 1.600 millones corresponden al crédito sindicado y el resto a hipotecas, pólizas, créditos a corto plazo y otros acreedores.El de Habitat es el segundo mayor concurso de acreedores de la historia, después de que Martinsa Fadesa suspendiera pagos con una deuda de 5.200 millones. En el crédito para la adquisición de la sociedad madrileña, liderado por la Caixa, participan 38 entidades financieras más. Entre ellas, están el Instituto Catalán de Finanzas y el Instituto de Crédito Oficial, que prestaron 100 millones de euros cada uno.

El presidente de Habitat, Bruno Figueras, ha explicado a EL PAÍS que el concurso "era evitable" en la medida que "todas las partes hubieran realizado los movimientos adecuados". Sin citarlo, se refería a las entidades financieras, a quienes se requería que pasaran parte de la deuda a créditos participativos; a Ferrovial, a quien la banca exigía que aportara capital o adquiriera algún activo, y a él mismo, que rechazó poner 12 millones de euros de su patrimonio personal.

La empresa ya se salvó del concurso el pasado mes de febrero, cuando llegó "in extremis" a un acuerdo con la banca acreedora gracias a la intervención de los ejecutivos central y catalán ante las entidades extranjeras, que se resistían a suscribir el pacto. Sin embargo, la tormenta financiera e inmobiliaria ha impedido que la compañía pueda cumplir con el plan de negocio fijado entonces. En la última junta general de accionistas los socios de la empresa ya se negaron a aportar 937 millones de euros que la empresa requería para asegurar su continuidad.

Habitat tiene ahora 250 pisos contratados. "Los vamos a seguir entregando, y además las cantidades están todas garantizadas", ha asegurado Figueras. Además de Ferrovial y la familia Suñol, en la empresa están Dolores Ortega (sobrina de Amancio Ortega), José Antonio Castro (Hesperia), Isak Andic (Mango) y las familias Cuatrecasas y Rodés.

Colonial, pendiente de su deuda

Pero Habitat no es la única inmobiliaria amenazada por su deuda. Colonial ha amenazado hoy con declararse insolvente y solicitar el concurso de acreedores si no logra cumplir con el compromiso de vender la participación del 15,45% que tiene en FCC, un 33% del capital de su filial francesa Société Foncière Lyonnaise (SFL) y el 100% de Riofisa o una parte sustancial de sus activos.

Otra de las antiguamente vacas sagradas del sector, Metrovacesa, ha logrado salvar sobre la campana la refinanciación de 1.100 millones de euros cuyo plazo finalizaba hoy gracias a la reventa de la sede del HSBC en Londres al propio banco, aunque para ello ha tenido que aceptar una minusvalía de 6000 millones de euros.

Sobre la situación de Colonial, la inmobiliaria se comprometió a vender sus participaciones en FCC, SFL y Riofisa, entre otros activos, dentro del acuerdo de reestructuración de su deuda de 7.000 millones que firmó con sus bancos el pasado mes de septiembre. El objetivo es destinar lo que obtenga de estas ventas a amortizar su deuda.

Plazo límite

Por ello, "si Colonial no pudiese cumplir con las obligaciones de venta descritas, en el plazo acordado en el caso de Riofisa, la sociedad podría no atender sus obligaciones de amortización de la deuda reestructurada a largo plazo. Todo ello podría ocasionar un impacto sustancial adverso en las actividades, los resultados y la situación financiera, o incluso, en última instancia, la insolvencia y declaración de concurso", según indica en el folleto de la emisión de obligaciones convertibles de 1.405 millones de euros que aprobó en junta extraordinaria el pasado viernes.

En el folleto, la inmobiliaria que ahora preside Juan José Bruguera confirma que ya ha iniciado los trámites para vender dichas participaciones. Además recuerda que esta misma semana concedió a sus bancos acreedores opciones de compra sobre el 15,4% de FCC, cuyo valor de mercado es de unos 545 millones, y el 33% de SFL, que actualmente vale en bolsa unos 430 millones, a ejercitar entre el 11 de diciembre de 2008 y el 10 de enero de 2009.

La deuda de inmobiliarias en trámites de concurso supera los 10.500 millones

Habitat, con una deuda de 2.300 millones de euros, se ha sumado a la lista de inmobiliarias y constructoras que desde finales de 2007 han ido solicitando el concurso de acreedores al no poder afrontar sus pagos y cuyo endeudamiento conjunto supera los 10.500 millones de euros. Antes de la empresa que preside Bruno Figueras, el primer caso entre estas firmas de gran volumen fue el de la inmobiliaria valencia Llanera, a la que las dificultades para refinanciar su deuda, cercana a los 700 millones de euros, llevaron en octubre de 2007 a solicitar a la justicia el concurso voluntario de acreedores ante la situación inminente de insolvencia de todas las empresas del grupo.

En los siguientes meses se produjo un goteo incesante de pequeñas y medianas empresas que optaron por la vía concursal ante la imposiilidad de hacer frente a sus deudas por la falta de liquidez derivada de la crisis financiera: Ereaga, la sevillana Contsa, la gaditana Jale, la barcelonesa Lovipro o la madrileña Prasi, especializada en la construcción de vivienda protegida. Tras las elecciones generales del 9 de marzo, se sumaron a la lista de empresas insolventes el grupo Lábaro, Cosmani (333 millones de euros de deuda), SEOP (330 millones de euros), Urazca (215 millones de deuda) y Promodico (500 millones de deuda).

El caso más relevante, no sólo económicamente sino también por sus connotaciones políticas, ha sido el de Martinsa-Fadesa, la primera inmobiliaria que cotiza en Bolsa y que solicitó el concurso voluntario de acreedores acuciada por la falta de liquidez derivada de la crisis que atraviesa el sector. Después de Martinsa-Fadesa y Habitat, la tercera mayor promotora 2C la tercera mayor promotora en declararse insolvente fue Tremón, que hace quince días presentó el concurso voluntario de acreedores al no poder afrontar una deuda cercana a los 900 millones de euros.

El Euríbor abaratará las hipotecas por primera vez en tres años

El Euríbor ha cerrado noviembre en el 4,350% y abaratará las hipotecas que se revisen en diciembre en 36 euros al mes (435 al año), la primera rebaja que se produce desde septiembre de 2005. El indicador ha experimentado en mes y medio el mayor recorte de su historia, de más de un punto y medio porcentual, desde el 5,512 que registraba a mediados de octubre, hasta el 3,951% de hoy -su mínimo intradía desde diciembre de 2006-. No obstante, no todos los préstamos que se revisen en diciembre se beneficiarán del recorte, ya que a aquellos que se actualicen en los primeros días del mes se les aplicará el Euríbor de octubre, pues las entidades prefieren utilizar la tasa oficial confirmada por el Banco de España a mediados de mes.

Calderón reconoce que la mitad de los policías mexicanos son "no recomendables

El Gobierno envía a la ONU un informe que admite que su sistema de justicia requiere "urgentemente" una depuración

El presidente mexicano, Felipe Calderón, admitió ayer, durante una sesión de preguntas parlamentarias en el Senado, que, según un estudio realizado sobre los más de 56.000 policías municipales y nacionales, así como a los de nuevo ingreso en la Policía Federal Preventiva, casi la mitad de los agentes evaluados son "no recomendables".En concreto, el informe recoge que en términos generales el 49,4% de los policías analizados pertenecen a este grupo, aunque el dato se eleva entre los 26.165 pertenecientes a la seguridad pública municipal, hasta un 61,5%, según publica el diario local El Universal.

Por regiones, las entidades con mayor porcentaje de evaluados como "no recomedables" son Zacatecas, con un 70,7%, Coahuila, un 69,7%, y San Luis Potosí, donde el 64,7% de los agentes han sido puestos en tela de juicio.

Coincidiendo con la difusión de este informe, el Gobierno mexicano ha revelado a la ONU en otro documento que su sistema de justicia requiere "urgentemente" una depuración, modernización y profesionalización en todas sus áreas. En ese texto, las autoridades mexicanas confiesan que han tenido que recurrir al Ejército para poder combatir a los grupos que forman parte del crimen organizado, especialmente el narcotráfico, y poder restablecer las condiciones "mínimas" de seguridad.

Día clave para economía de EE.UU.

Ante la crisis, las tiendas usan "trucos" como abrir a medianoche y dar regalos a los primeros clientes.

Estados Unidos ir de compras es un deporte nacional, y la final se juega el "viernes negro", el día después de Thanksgiving (Día de Acción de Gracias), cuando millones de consumidores se lanzan a las tiendas en una maratónica jornada de gastos navideños.

Para el sector de ventas al por menor es el día más importante del año, ya que esas pocas horas representan más del 10% de sus ventas anuales, cuando esperan pasar de números rojos a números negros. Además, la fecha sirve como barómetro para medir el ánimo de los compradores y determinar si el año terminará con ganancias o con pérdidas.

Para los consumidores, es la oportunidad de encontrar grandes descuentos, aunque tengan que codearse con las multitudes que llenan las carreteras, los parqueos y la sección juguetes y televisiones en rebaja. Es más, ya se ha vuelto una tradición montar videos en sitios como Youtube, con las estampidas y peleas que no faltan a las entradas de las tiendas.

Sin embargo, este año el "viernes negro" llega en medio de una crisis económica, con la tasa de desempleo más alta de los últimos 16 años, y en medio de una crisis inmobiliaria en la que cientos de miles han perdido sus casas.

El lujo no está de moda

El temor es que la gente no compre lo suficiente, lo que agravaría la crisis económica en EE.UU.

Según America´s Research Group, que analiza las tendencias del mercado, el 57,9% de los estadounidenses planea gastar menos en esta Navidad, preocupados por sus deudas y la pérdida de empleo.

"Puede haber cierta resistencia a comprar regalos de lujo esta temporada de fiestas, pero los regalos prácticos y el toque personal están de moda este año", dijo en una conferencia de prensa en Washington la presidente de la National Retail Federation (NRF), Tracy Mullin.

La encuesta anual de la NRF indica que 49 millones de personas "definitivamente" saldrán a gastar sus dólares, y que 79 millones más están pendientes de los descuentos para ver si vale la pena el viaje a la tienda.

Los pronósticos son menores en comparación al año pasado cuando 135 millones aprovecharon el día para cazar rebajas.

"Muchas empresas ya empezaron a promover sus descuentos pero todavía tienen algunos trucos para atraer a los consumidores", recalcó Mullin.

De compras en pijama

Puede haber cierta resistencia a comprar regalos de lujo esta temporada de fiestas, pero los regalos prácticos y el toque personal están de moda este año Tracy Mullin, presidente de la National Retail Federation

Entre estos "trucos", varios centros comerciales abrirán sus puertas a la medianoche y ofrecerán regalos sorpresa a los primeros 100 compradores que lleguen en pijama.

Una tienda nacional de artículos para el hogar está rifando un auto nuevo y bonos de US$500 entre sus clientes, y además una cadena de restaurantes ofrecerá postre gratis a los que compren hamburguesas.

En Carolina de Sur, se ha suspendido el impuesto a las ventas de armas de fuego todo el fin de semana, pero algunos consideran que la medida, promovida por el republicano Mark Pitts, es más un truco político que de mercadeo.

La pregunta del millón es si estas promociones motivarán a los consumidores a dejar atrás las preocupaciones por su bolsillo y contagiarse del espíritu de compras navideñas. Según varios analistas, de no lograr las ganancias esperadas, más de una tienda nacional podría quebrar en enero.

Pero no sólo las tiendas se están preparando para largas filas en esta época de fiestas. La demanda es cada vez mayor en los centros de ayuda social y en las cocinas comunitarias.

La DC Central Kitchen, una organización que reparte comida en Washington, reporta que las llamadas a su línea de ayuda contra el hambre han subido un 248%, a la vez que las donaciones se han reducido en un 35%.
