It was probably a diabetic foot that was completely necrotic due to diabetic vasculopathy and neuropathy. She probably wanted to use that foot as a macabre reminder that it is important to protect your feet as a diabetic to avoid ulcer, necrosis, etc. Still, she shouldn't of performed the "amputation" and she is messed up to even attempt something like this.
