5. Because She Never Sought Treatment For An Injury, She Had To Be Carried Around
Hutton had many physical and psychological problems throughout her life and sought treatment regularly. In fact, Hutton missed her son Lance’s second marriage due to an illness; there was one situation where Hutton should have found therapy from a doctor but refused. This situation happened when she was in Rome. The year was 1971 and Hutton, who was almost 60 years of age, was walking when she tripped over some carpet, fell, and broke her hip. While it is reported that she did see a doctor eventually, she delayed treatment for a period of time.
No one knows why Hutton did not seek the treatment of a doctor immediately after falling and breaking her hip, especially when she seemed to seek treatment for many other injuries and illnesses. Whatever the reason, this choice left Hutton with extreme pain and many complications with her hip until the end of her life. These complications were said to make walking too painful and challenging for Hutton that she had to be carried around for the rest of her life, at least if she was not in a wheelchair.
