Door Keeps Big Man From Returning to Hospital
ATLANTA Ga AP Big Henry Lyons weighs about 600 pounds with a 72 inch waistline and a front door too narrow to admit him. After leaving Grady Hospital in 1961 he deserted treatment, drawn by home cooking. He doubts he can walk and has not walked in three years. He fears leaving his four room apartment where a 36 inch door traps him yet he longs for relief from arthritis and weakness. Lyons quit work in 1957 and now endures a life bound by his kitchen and doorways. He would return to hospital only if a way to get him out of his room could be found.
