This reminds me of a hilarious story I just heard the other day.

My boyfriend's boss was running a marathon in Hawaii. She was sharing a hotel room with another marathon runner who she did not know at all. After the run, her stomach was pretty upset so she went to the bathroom to empty her bowels. I guess the cold of the weather mixed with the heat of her body from running formed a vacuum seal to the toilet. She was stuck...she could not get up.

She thought maybe flushing the toilet would help. She flushed, and it made it worse! It tightened the vacuum seal. She was really REALLY stuck. After awhile, her roommate knocked to make sure that she was okay. She had to tell her the story and then there was an awkward scene to figure out how to get her off of the toilet. They ended up getting a toothbrush to pry under her leg to break the seal the toilet had on her. She had a BIG red ring around her and said it hurt for awhile! How embarassign.

I had read this article earlier right before supper and it literally made me sick to my stomach. I couldn't stop picturing the toilet stuck to her butt. Her skin grew around it.....how gross!!! Supposedly to her legs were atrophied. I still can't imagine how something like this would happen, its bizarre!!

i seriously can't imagine how this is possible. people can die from bedsores getting infected if they are not moved periodically. how did she not get sick? she would have been in severe pain. her legs were atrophied. she must have major, major mental issues. it really is sad. what a way to live. i'm glad they found her and i hope she gets the help she needs. i'm gonna be careful when i go to the bathroom from now on!!

How sad...and very strange. Muscles start to atrophy after just a couple of days of not using them, she's going to need some major therapy..physical, mental and emotional.

oh my gosh, i thought it said 2 hours too! 2 years??? I can't believe her boyfriend would even let her do that. Doesn't he care more for her than that? I mean there's a difference when a lady has a phobia of something like germs or something, but this is outrageous in my opinion. Of course he couldn't forcer her out of the bathroom, but you'd think that it would dawn on him after more than a few days that she needed some help.

I have never seen anyone on cnn laugh until last night. The reporter started to talk about it and busted up laughing. it quickly went to a break.

I don't get it. The guy stated his wife or gf would get up yet the report stated her skin grew around the seat. Also, how can that guy go that long without getting her help? maybe he didn't know what to do?I think it is a very sad story, actually. that is one severe case of agoraphobia.

Er ... not wishing to seem churlish or anything but what has this story to do with 'Pregnancy Community'? Did the poor woman believe the old wives' tale that you could get pregnant from sitting on a toilet seat?
