One morning, at an assisted living centre, one of the residents didn’t show up for breakfast, so a friend went upstairs and knocked on his door to see if he was okay.
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.
Thirty minutes later he was coming down the stairs but was having a difficult time. He 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 eat 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.
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.
