Couch of Death

[arisbe]

"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 died at Martin Memorial Hospital South, still attached to the couch."

That story was so horrible. :( I mean... someone must have kept giving her food and everything.

That is my reaction, too. She can't have been healthy mentally any more than she was healthy physically.

I never knew the phrase 'couch potato' would be literal!

One suspects that the man is what is known in fat-acceptance circles as a "feeder"--one who fetishizes having a huge, immobile partner.

One hopes; at least then someone was getting something positive out of the situation. Because the alternative scenario is that he was co-dependent and wretchedly miserable the entire time.

That is not the way to go and certain not if you want to go quietly. Jeez! How anyone could live that way is beyond me.

This is one of the most depressing, and revolting, stories I've read in quite a long time.
