A North Carolina senior citizen said she miraculously survived being trapped in her bathtub for nine days by using her foot to turn the faucet and splash water toward her face to drink after suffering a crippling fall. Joan Rivet, 82, was getting ready for bed at her home in Clyde — nestled in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains, about 150 miles outside Charlotte — on June 1 when she tripped in the bathroom and fell backward into her bathtub, tearing down her shower curtain and sending the rod crashing down on top of her, she told The Mountaineer. “My first thought was, ‘oh my goodness, what did I do?'” Rivet, who has been a widow since 2023 and now lives alone, told the outlet while recovering from her bed at the Skyland Terrace Rehabilitation Center.
