James Bridges has been left with a broken hand, bruised face and long-term health problems after the accident.
A 92-year-old man was left bedbound with a broken hand and a bruised face after he fell over bollards marking out an extended pavement in Edinburgh.
She said: "He did not see the black base of the bollard but fortunately there were some passersby who assisted him. His blood was spilt on the middle of the road and he was left in a very bad way. Medics initially thought he had suffered a stroke as he lapsed into shock and his temperature plummeted – but an MRI scan and X-ray confirmed this wasn't the case. The next day, James recalled tripping over the bollard.
Top news stories today Anne believes he will need long-term physiotherapy to learn to walk again, adding: "His doctors predict his recovery to be very long with no timeline at present for muscle healing. I fear there is a risk that the consequences of this accident in terms of extreme drug intake to his frail body and infection from his immobile state may prove fatal.
"Since dad's accident, I have received some feedback from other local residents who have knowledge of less serious trips on these structures. The black coloured blocks blend into the tarmac road only adding to risk of not seeing them."
