That's horrible. I had know idea it was medically possible to become attached permanently to any piece of furniture

Damn, well theres one thing that could never happen to me.

GOOD GOD.....that's soooo sick!

Oh god..

That's... I just don't have words for that.. How the fuck can you stay in one place for that long? What about shitting and peeing? Or is that just a detail that I don't even want to begin to think about?

My wife showed me that article last night. So, if she was fused to the couch fabric she must have shit and pissed herself and been unable to shower, hence the smell in the house. My question is if she couldn't get up, who brought her food in, prepped it & fed her?

and we call ourselves an advanced race. :(

Im sorry but something has to be wrong with this story. They say she hasnt gotten out of that couch in 6 years. The neighbors say they had no idea that she was there so I guess that means they couldnt smell anything either.

Do you guys know what 6 years worth of piss and shit is? Even if the guy was cleaning it up, the shit still would have gotten under her skin and in the couch. If this story is true, why didnt infection set in long ago. I know people in the hospitol that lay in a bed for a week and there bed sores basiclly get raw. Alot of times even infected. Thats after 1 week! Can you imagine 6 years of not moving with piss and shit in the couch under your skin. They definitly left something out of this story if it is true.

My mom lives close to philly and she also saw it on action news. I know the story is real but I want to know how infection didnt kill her long ago.

I have no idea. I know elderly people can die from bed sore infections rather quickly.

This reminds me of that movie "seven". Sloth or whatever.
