How to survive 22 hours in a bathtub

A 99-year old Salt Lake City woman lay stranded in her bathtub for 22 hours after falling and injuring herself. She says she survived by reciting poetry:

Vernon believes that reciting poetry and reminiscing about previous world travels was responsible for her survival. "If I hadn't known lots of beautiful poetry, I couldn't have made it," she told the source. "I don't want anyone else to go through what I've gone through."

"It's not something you hear about. Too few people realize the risk," Peter Herbertson, outreach director of Salt Lake County Aging Services, said of the dangers of falls for the elderly.

Vernon is reportedly looking forward to returning home and continuing her independent lifestyle. She will celebrate her 100th birthday next summer with a cruise.

Take that, James Franco!
