Don't ever let this happen to you - - - you will be misdiagnosed

This is what all of you 70+ year-olds, and yet-to-be kids have to look
forward to!! This is something that happened at an assisted living
center.
The people who lived there have small apartments but they
all eat at a central cafeteria. One morning one of the residents
didn't show up for breakfast so my wife 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 time. He had a death grip on the hand rail 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.
I am sending this to my children so that they don’t sell the house
before they know the facts.
