My husband was pushing my wheelie walker whilst I was sitting on its seat (in the parking area pathway leading to the entrance to Aldi at Logan Hyperdome).
The time was approximately 9.45am on Friday, November 25.
There was a small lip in the concrete towards the end of the car park and the wheelie walker hit it and threw me backwards.
I hit the concrete on my back and my head hit it too, very severely.
Within a few seconds people saw what happened and came to my aid and helped my husband.
There were at least 5-6 people who stood over me with umbrellas helping to shield me from the sun, and they stayed throughout the next hour.
The security guard of the Hyperdome arrived shortly after and called the ambulance which took about half an hour to get to me and they eventually got me to the QE2 hospital around 12.30pm.
It was a very hot day and I want to thank all those people who were with me at the time of the fall, the security guard of the Hyperdome, and the ambulance crew who looked after me.
There are truly good people in this world when anyone needs help. I was lucky to get away with a lump on the back of my head and whiplash.
Merry Christmas to everyone who helped me and hope one day I can reciprocate and come to their assistance.
