## Resource

An 82-year-old North Carolina woman survived nine days trapped in her bathtub after a fall, drinking water she splashed to her face using her foot to turn on the faucet. Unable to reach her phone or get help, she drifted in and out of consciousness until her brother alerted authorities—finding her semi-conscious, dehydrated, and with bedsores. Her harrowing ordeal, which echoes decades-long concerns about elderly falls and even parallels Senator Mitch McConnell’s recent hospitalization, has inspired her to move closer to family and strengthen ties with neighbors. Now recovering at a rehab facility, she credits prayer and positivity for her survival. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
