"An 86-year-old woman who fell in the bathtub of her home in a Milwaukee suburb said she was trapped there for four days.

Lt. David Aamodt said police in Cudahy were called Tuesday to check on the woman after family members could not reach her for several days. Officers found a newspaper from Sunday outside when they arrived at the home.

Aamodt said police found the woman in the tub.

She told police that she couldn't get out after falling in and thought she'd been there for four days.

The woman was taken to a hospital. Police said they do not know her condition.

A Salt Lake City man also said he slipped and fell in his tub and was trapped there for five days.

Lou Beddow, 82, was found Tuesday by a neighbor who noticed Beddow hadn't been walking his dog for a while.

The retired postal carrier said he survived on tap water after he slipped and fell in the tub Friday.

Salt Lake City Fire Department spokesman Scott Freitag said Beddow was hospitalized in serious condition and may have suffered compression injuries."




Neighbors and famblee members FINALLY noticed that they were missing? Where were their children and grandchildren who were supposed to be "taking care of them in their old age", while they lay naked and helpless in a bathtub for days on end? I would be willing to bet that they are childed because if they were not, than that would have likely been mentioned. The breederific media RARELY misses an opportunity to point out how it's just for the best all around if people breed.

If your elder is so infirm they are unable to climb out of a bathtub you should check on them daily and make sure a neighbor has a key.

(trying not to think about naked old people)

Good to know that the same little beaming toddler who lept up and down, threw her arms around you, and yelled "I love you mommy!!!" 20 years ago frankly wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire today.

House spiders get stuck in tubs too, but I just wash 'em down.

see i find it hard to get out of a bath, because my ankles can sprain just by looking at them, let alone in water in slippery baths.. (showers are worse standing all the time, moving about)

I don't even wanna know how they went to the bathroom. Did they just poop in the tub?

Whee, can't wait to be old!

I am hoping euthanasia will be legal by the time I get to old to take care of myself.

That's the same thing I told a friend of mine (a breeder btw). I said my quality of life is far more important than how long I live, and that if the quality ever goes down to the point of no return (like with a terminal illness) I'd rather end it now than suffer until I die naturally. Well, my so-called breeder friend told me that I was selfish, depressed, and needed to be on medication because of what I said. Breeders, I'll never understand their mentality.
