Woman tied up instant messages for help with toes

Toe typist demonstrates how on national TV
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Amy Windom demonstrated for a national television audience Wednesday how she used her toes to type a desperate message for help on her laptop.
The southeast Atlanta woman, who had been tied to her bed by an armed intruder, typed "HELP" and "CALL 911″ to her boyfriend, who summoned police to free her early Tuesday.
ABC's "Good Morning America" interviewed Windom and her boyfriend, John Hilton, about the harrowing ordeal.
Host Robin Roberts noted some were skeptical about Windom's story, "but after seeing this demonstration I think you've proved you are capable of something like this."
"It never occurred to me that anybody would be suspicious until I saw some reference to it in one of the articles," Windom replied. "There's no way I could have done this other than the way I described, the way I was restrained."
When police arrived at her Glenwood Avenue home, Windom had been tied to her bed by her hands for more than five hours. Her attacker had struck her in the forehead with a handgun.
He had gone through the house stealing valuables but left her laptop at the foot of the bed. After he was gone, she used her toes to open the computer.
On GMA, Windom showed how she had used her right big toe as a mouse. With her left foot, she grasped the power cord between her toes and used it to type.
"I learned very quickly that using both of my [big] toes wasn't going to work," she told Roberts. "It's not the easiest thing, but that's how I did it."
Windom said she was glad to hear police had recovered her 2009 Acura TSX, though the robber remains at large.
Hilton described his girlfriend as "very creative" and "a fighter."
"All things considered," Windom said, "I'm doing remarkably well."
