Yes it would, and would be impossible to live with, especially with the obvious signs of blood infection.
And it really reaching to imagine that Mo and wife did not notice this enormous infection spreading on her body? That she did not tell them, or show them in the beginning as it was growing larger and more painful? She would be limping wouldn't she, how did she get up and walk around acting fine, as they said in interviews?
Weird, just plain weird.
KE said ANS was in the bath and shampooing her hair when KE was walking in and out, saying goodbye. If anyone should have noticed, she should have.
As far as Moe's statement. KE was right there (YES??). She put his "old fashioned ice bath story" into Moe's mind....That's where he learned it...not from Grandma.
I don't think Moe even mentioned KE in ANY of the early interviews. Best guess: Howard told him what to say when he got to the hospital later in the day.
