A 75-year-old woman who lay trapped in her bathtub for five days toasted her rescue with a cola and a cigarette

I read this the only day, and one poster said "It's time to take away her tub."

I can't for the life of me understand how someone can be that alone that they would lay for 5 days before someone missed her.

I read about an older woman last year who was nude, sitting on her toilet, fell off the seat and laid there for 12 days!  On cold tile.

I just shudder to think that people aren't missed when this happens to them.  It is very sad indeed.

It's part of the career syndrome; children grow up and leave. They call regularly for weeks, months and even years, then one day they busily pass it by; one day leads to weeks, months and even years of simple unintended neglect.
