What would happen if someone stayed in bed for months, years on end with the occassional food break or toilet break etc.?

peace

Answer 1

You would get weaker and couldn't walk..bed sores.

Answer 2

You will miss all the fun events  

Answer 3

Your mattress would have such a groove in it (think homer simpson's sofa) that it would actually swallow you up :P nah just kidding!

How about these severely overweight people who are immobile and actually LIVE  in bed for years and years. Or people who are ill and bedridden. Now I love my bed and sleeping but I can imagine nowt worse! lol

Answer 4

Umm, they'd probably get pretty overweight from getting no excersise at all. They'd have almost no contact with other people and would probably get lonely and be depressed or something like that. They'd probably run out of food because they can't go out and buy it. They'd be really gross too, no showers/teeth brushing/ clean clothes, EWWW.

Answer 5

you be a fat man!  

Answer 6

even after being in bed for a few days you will probably develop bed sores. The skin over pressure areas such as heals and sacrum goes pink and then starts to break. It looks really raw and painful!

Answer 7

You would gain weight, your muscles would get weak, your skin could get pale, your bones could get really bad or just about anything.

Answer 8

Depending on what you mean by occasional your leg muscles would shrink and become useless. When they say use it or lose it it actually does apply to muscles. Anyway depending the diet you wouldn't get fat. I'd think it would be kinda boring and your life would probably be shortened(poor quality of life) but really you could live that way.

Answer 9

Bed sores. You would smell terrible (you didnt mention taking showers) if you not on blood thinners you would get a clot and die. Have fun with that though

Answer 10

The same that would happen to a person who was paralyzed in the legs and had to stay in a wheelchair. Nothing. Oh but staying in bed not seeing the outside world? Ah probably go crazy perhaps.
