argggggghhhhhhhhhhhh  poor sis.  I had a similar problem about a month ago.
I finally got the light fixture down to where I could work with it, yes I
stood on a step stool to reach it- NOT too wise buy hey, I live alone
too......lol  and I proceeded to change the bulb.  The bulb would NOT come
unscrewed. (ok now people, let's be nice here! LOL)  I used pliers, I used a
handigrip thing that you use for opening jars... nothing worked.  So I had
to have maintenance come in and do it.  I felt inept...... but.. ready for
this.......  He couldn't do it either!  Ya know how I figured this out?  Two
things... broken glass shards all over my desk and countertops! (messy) and
when I went to go throw those in the trash... I saw a papertowel with blood
on it- so he had to break the bulb and in the process got cut.  Glad I was
smart enough to stop........ I had thought about breaking it- but thought
again......
