This is something that happened at an assisted living center.
The people who live there have small apartments but they all eat at a central
cafeteria.
One morning one of the residents didn’t show up for breakfast one
of the ladies went upstairs and knocked on his door to see if everything was
OK. She could hear him through the door and he said that he was running late
and would be down shortly so she went back to the dining area.
An hour later he still hadn’t arrived so she went back up
towards his room and she found him on the stairs. He was coming down the stairs
but was having a hell of a time. He had a death grip on the handrail and seemed
to have trouble getting his legs to work right.
She told him she was going to call an ambulance but he told her
no, he wasn’t in any pain and just wanted to have his breakfast. So she helped
him the rest of the way down the stairs and he had his breakfast.
When he tried to return to his room he was completely unable to
get up even the first step so they called an ambulance for him.
A couple hours later she called the hospital to see how he was
doing.
The
receptionist there said he was fine; he just had both of his legs in one leg of
his boxer shorts.
