Australian for FAT?

The 67-year-old woman, suffering from dehydration, was taken to a hospital after firefighters in the eastern city of Ipswich ended her ordeal Sunday by removing the bathroom door from its hinges, Queensland state government spokesman Chantelle Rule said. The woman, who is diabetic, was not seriously ill, Rule said.

The woman, who has not been named, fell during the early hours of July 19 and somehow became trapped with her feet stuck on either side of the toilet bowl and her body wedged against the inward-opening door, Rule said.

I'm trying to envision the logistics involved here... she fell forward off the toilet and her feet were on either side of the toilet bowl still? I'm guessing she didn't flush? :pointlol:

She's diabetic, and spent a week without water. Dangerous.

Yeah, I read this first thing this morning and thought the same thing.

Depending on the conditions, a week without water is dangerous for ANYBODY

maybe she managed to kick some water (or fluids) out of the toilet?

What, no "women spend too much time in the bathroom" jokes?

This is no laughing matter.... especially when you consider what the rescuers went thru to free her.

What they must have seen!...

I though a healthy person could only survive a few days without water much less an elderly diabetic.

"To me, there are three things we all should do every day of our lives. Number one is laugh. You should laugh every day. Number two is think. You should spend some time in thought. And Number three is, you should have your emotions moved to tears, could be happiness or joy.

"If you laugh, you think, and you cry, that's a full day. That's a heck of a day. You do that seven days a week, you're going to have something special."
