A woman in Texas has spent two years sitting on the toilet. Her boyfriend would ask her if she wanted to get up and she would say "maybe tomorrow". He would bring her food and water. TWO YEARS!!! Her skin had grown around the seat. The boyfriend finally rang an ambulance - and they had to cut the seat off and send it with her as it was attached to her body. Her leg muscles had atrophied. See The Age article here. The boyfriend has not explained why he took two years to call.
The questions I have are:
- TWO YEARS?!?!?!?
- What made him suddenly decide something was wrong?
- Why didn't he just pick her up, like 729 days earlier, and remove her from the toilet?
- Why wouldn't she move? Was there some medical event that occurred whilst on the toilet that was never treated? A stroke maybe? Or was it just a really good book, and she couldn't put it down?
- Where did he go to the toilet?
- Why did no one else move her from the toilet or even notice her lack of presence? Did they have no friends? Family? Visitors?
- Why did he collude with her, by bringing her food and water? And not for a brief period of time - but for TWO YEARS!!!!!
I just don't get it.
