| | Re Someone Needs To Get To The Bottom Of This | | I would think both people involved have some issues, mental or physical or both-because the average person wouldn't let someone sit on the toilet for two years before getting help. Hopefully now, they both get the help they need

| | Re Someone Needs To Get To The Bottom Of This | | Supposedly she didn't sit the entire time: Quote: |
But McFarren said she moved around in the bathroom during that time, bathed and changed into the clothes he brought her. He brought food and water to her. They had conversations and had an otherwise normal relationship -- except it all happened in the bathroom.

Obviously, though, to be stuck to the seat, with atrophied legs, she had stopped moving around at some point. This poor woman - I hope she gets the help she needs!

| | Re Someone Needs To Get To The Bottom Of This | | Her skin had grown around the toilet seat. That has to mean months of not even shifting enough to break contact between butt and seat.
Just when you think you'd heard the weirdest story ever, this comes along. |

| | Re Someone Needs To Get To The Bottom Of This | | Bedsores, probably. My mother had those. Horrible, horrible things.

| | Re Someone Needs To Get To The Bottom Of This | | Doesn't have to mean months. Bedsores can actually develop in a matter of hours. Especially if there were wetness or, um, bacteria trapped between the skin and the surface. And from bedsores it probably doesn't take long until your skin is "stuck" to the surface.
Ugh. That poor woman. Abused as a child, then left with emotional problems, and now she'll be a punch line. |

When authorities arrived at the home, they found Pam Babcock, 35, stuck to the toilet, which they think she had sat on for about a month.

| | Re Someone Needs To Get To The Bottom Of This | | honestly, the boyfriend sounds about as mentally sound as the woman-I'm not sure this is the right choice. They both need help, not jail time

I agree. Jail is not the answer for every deviant behavior. |

There's a pun there somewhere, I'll let Sara find it.
