An 82-year-old US woman survived nine days trapped in her bathtub after a fall left her unable to stand, call for help or escape.
Widow Joan Rivet of North Carolina was discovered on June 10 after relatives and neighbours became concerned when they could not reach her, the Mountaineer first reported.
“I was unconscious and barely had a pulse when the rescuers arrived,” Rivet told People from her room at the rehabilitation centre where she was slowly recovering.
“I don’t remember being rescued by them at all, to be honest with you.”
The accident happened on June 1 as Rivet prepared for bed. She was changing into her pyjamas in the bathroom rather than in her bedroom and lost her footing, People reported.
“Clumsy me, I tripped over my own two feet,” Rivet told the outlet.
