A former nurse has been left paralysed after hitting her head off of the toilet in a fall at her home. Marie Ogilvie, 54, from Perth, can't move her arms, hands, and legs and is unable to breathe for herself after the accident on August 14.
She had gone to the bathroom at around 10.30pm after complaining of feeling unwell to her husband Jim. But 10 minutes later Jim heard a thud and rushed to find his wife of more than 30 years on the floor, bleeding from the nose. "When I first saw her lying on the bathroom floor I thought she was a goner," Jim told the Record. "I tried to stem the flow of the blood but I was panicking.
