To most people, Facebook drains the life right out of them. For other people, it is a life saver...no, I mean it, it really saved this woman's life.

"I worked all day, went to bed, woke up at midnight and decided to fold some clothes," Lincoln said. As she sat in an office chair folding towels, she dropped one on the floor. When she bent down to pick it up, the chair rolled out from underneath her, causing her to fall" When it slammed up against the wall. I heard a crunch. I knew I was in big trouble," Lincoln said. The crunch she heard was her femur bone, breaking.

Other solution: keep a damn phone in your pocket.

This is little different from "World of Warcraft" saved my life type things.
 
How did she break a thigh bone falling on her ass?
Seriously how many of us have been pranked in school or whereever where we go to sit down in a chair and someone pulls it away at last second? It's essentially no different than that. Office chair rolls away - falls on ass.
 
I once broke my leg while hiking in the Australian Outback, but luckily I have a penis so I used it as a crutch till I got to the hospital. True story. Being male saved my life.
 
Alright. I guess I concede there is SOME use for FB. It's not for me though.

LOL. Missed these during post.

The first gives a lol picture in my mind. :D
I'm trying to block the second. Really.
 
I'm confused.

Her other option: the laptop sitting on top of the desk just a few feet away

Okay, so the laptop is "a few feet away".

All the time dragging this leg and it was the most painful thing I've ever been through," Lincoln said. The pain was so bad, at one point, Lincoln thought she would pass out. But she had to keep on crawling.

That seems odd, but maybe they're just exaggerating this crawling bit, lets keep reading.

So she typed a comment. "I wrote 'call 911, I need help,' " Lincoln said. That was at 10:00 a.m., nearly 10 hours after she fell.

Alright, hold on now. Broken femur or not, how does it take you 10 hours to crawl "a few feet"?

:confused:

Watch it you whippersnappers! I'm in my 50s. Of course this woman probably weighs 2 of me, at least.

10 hours to drag yourself a few feet? I understand being in pain and having a low pain threshhold, but 10 hours? I've fallen head-first, passed out with concussions, have had to literally crawl to a phone when I came to completely disoriented, bleeding and sick and not had it take that long - emt/er doctors can kind of tell how long and it's never been more than like 10 minutes between falling/calling/getting to ER. I have meniere's disease bilaterally, drop attacks can and have = fall/concussion.

The cellphone thing - she may not have a "smartphone", she may have one but the battery was charging, it may not work in the basement. My "dumb" cellphone only works in the house if I open a window and lean out, seriously.

I'm glad someone got help to her, it is a shame it took so long. Maybe she should have have just posted on her profile? If I right now posted omw call 911 I need help I have friends, including some in Canada who'd have police/emts here in like a half hour tops!

If she's anything like my mom she had to finish folding the laundry and cleaning the house before the paramedics got there, lest they think her untidy.

Yeah, that was my thought also. How does it take you that long to make it that short distance. I also like how the video actually says it differently and says that it took 10 hours for somebody to see it, while he article says it took her 10 hours to get to he computer and into facebook and only moments for somebody to see her message.
 
It wouldn't have been 10 hours since she would have had massive internal bleeding / hemorrhaging from broken femoral bone. Which would have lead to death in about 2 to 4 hours depending what the broken bone cut.
It is a good thing she didn't sever the artery as that would have killed her in minutes.

Stuff like this makes me think about how lucky I am. My friend shattered his ankle by slipping on ice in his driveway. I work in the construction industry as a laborer, and I have fallen more than 15 feet off roofs/staging a few times, landed on my back, side, and feet. I have been hit by 1000lb trusses that get caught up in the wind, and had a wall fall on me. I never got more than a bruise or scratch. I guess its just all in how you land.

Right, because when I wake up at midnight to go take a piss, the first thing I do is grab my phone and put it in my boxers.

A couple months ago I hurt my back at home. Pain was so unbearable that my fiancee and I couldn't make the 20 foot distance to the car to take me to the emergency room. Paramedics peeled me off my living room floor. The instant my butt hit the stretcher I nearly passed out.

Injuries CAN be that painful and disabling. I'm only 32 and in decent health. An older person in similar or worse shape may not have a prayer.

Clearly then, you're not [H] enough to hang here. I suggest you resign your forum account while you still have some dignity left.
 
Couldn't she just as easily have used e-mail or skype or any one of the many ways the internet let's you communicate? Facebook didn't help anything here, the internet did.
