You really gotta wonder how someone can get that big.

BIG Meals on Wheels

A long stick is required for other things as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZeJZs2fdYo

My daughter's a paramedic, and on an ambulance call they had to extricate a 500-pound diabetic woman from her apartment. They strapped her into a special chair carrier and she and three other volunteer EMTs each grabbed a corner.

Unfortunately for my daughter, who was on the bottom, the woman voided her bladder on the way down the stairs...

I love that song by the Beatles. Haven’t heard it in years, so it was nice.

Slings. Funny story. Jabba the Hutt is alive and living in NYC.

I understand that that’s the normal way that Michael Moore leaves the comfort of his pigsty (when it’s too much trouble for him to waddle out on his own)...

Situations like this are why you pay attention in physics class.

If she couldn’t go through a front door, then she couldn’t go through a bathroom door. I’d hate to see (or smell) what her bedroom was like.

What goes in must come out.

It takes a lot of food to get to that size.

Whoever fed her, also had to clean her up.

And aside from the bathroom duties, how the heck does someone that size get a bath?

I can't fathom the stench of what these people we read about on occasion must be like.

And watch, the hospital will get sued if something goes wrong with her care.

I’d wager that her assistants were either government employees directly or being paid by the government indirectly to do so. Anyone in the private sector would have raised red flags long ago, if for no other reason than the liability risk.

Usually family members who are too damned stupid to seek help for her.

Sprained backs. lol That was a good one.

ONE mo pound is all it would taken for her to have been NYC’s second 911..

This reminds me of the “Ren and Stimpy” episode when they were firefighters.

They are rescuing an obese woman from a high rise with a crank up ladder. The crank slips out of his hand and begins to spin. The woman is falling so fast her butt catches fire like an Apollo capsule re-entering the Earths atmosphere.

>>>nobody 900 lbs can be stable.<<<

Not even when supine, on the floor.

[Slings and Arrows]

Important safety tip, that.
