Couch Potato

Posted by ryan at 09:21 PM in holy shit . | 6 Comments

A 480-pound Martin County woman has died after emergency workers tried to remove her from the couch where she had remained for about six years.
Emergency workers had to remove some sliding glass doors and lift the couch, with Grinds still on it, to a trailer behind a pickup truck. Removing her from the couch would be too painful, since her body was grafted to the fabric. After years of staying put, her skin had literally become one with the sofa and had to be surgically removed.

She washed her back with a rag on a stick.

I dunno if that would work. Sounds like her back was fused with the couch.

I saw this a few days ago and the question I have had ever since is..."how did she go to the bathroom"?? I probably dont wanna know.

At what point do you decide to sit down and never get up again? Thats a pretty unbelievable article.

Haha, I know. The more I would think about it the nastier it would get. I was having dinner the other day and for some reason I started thinking about that article. I was having trouble finishing my food after that.
