Shau Kei Wan, 71-year-old Lv Lao Weng, who was cleaning the terrace yesterday (1st), fell from the third floor to the second-floor terrace, injured his left forehead and needed stitches. His wife said he is still in hospital.
Lu's wife suspected that when her husband was standing on a wooden bench to clean the bamboo for drying clothes, he fell from weightlessness. The accident is "a great fortune in misfortune," and the consequences would be disastrous if he fell on the ground.
The Lu family lived in the unit involved at No. 23 A Kung Yan Road for about 40 years. The children have moved away from the family. At present, the husband and wife are living together. The husband suffers from a long-term illness and "eats a lot of medicine."
Lu's wife received a notice from her son yesterday and learned that her husband had fallen off the building. She was very worried. She then talked with her husband on the phone and went to the hospital twice to follow up the hospitalization arrangements and deliver supplies. Unfortunately, she was not able to meet because of the epidemic.
Lu's wife said that her husband was injured on the left forehead and had stitches. The nurse said that there was no major brain problem and no fractures in the initial report. However, the doctor suspected that the pancreas might be cracked and needed to be checked again. She hoped that her husband would recover and be discharged as soon as possible.
Lu's wife did not learn more about the accident process from her husband, but she estimated that her husband was standing on a wooden bench while wiping the bamboo on the ceiling yesterday on the terrace. As the floor was uneven, the wooden bench swayed during depression, causing him to lose weight and fall. On the terrace on the second floor, she had fallen down while handling the beehive on the terrace.
The husband said on the phone that when he fell, he was hanged on a rope before he fell into the balcony on the second floor. He was once in a coma. Someone was washing the floor, and he crawled to the side of the fence for help.
Lu's wife said that the accident was "a great fortune in misfortune" and "it is a good luck."
The old man stumbled on the terrace of the unit on the third floor and fell to the terrace of the lower unit. He was sober and sent to the hospital for treatment.
