"What's coronavirus?" Jane Kennedy had an accident at home, and woke up with memory loss.

When she woke up in Melbourne’s The Alfred hospital this week, Jane Kennedy had no idea how she’d got there.

The Triple M radio host and sometimes-Have You Been Paying Attention host has been absent from her drive-time radio show with Mick Molloy since Monday, explaining she had been in hospital following a nasty fall from a tree on Monday.

Calling in to her Kennedy-Molloy show on Thursday, the mother-of-five explained she had no recollection of falling and hitting her head.

Friday, April 24th’s COVID-19 headlines. Post continues below video.

She said she found a wildlife camera with night vision while spring cleaning, and fell when trying to fit it in a tree in the rain while wearing her Ugg boots.

“I’ve got the night vision wildlife camera in my hand, and the next minute, I woke up with a rather concerned Rob Stitch [her husband] next to me in the trauma unit of the Alfred Hospital,” she said on the radio.

“Apparently I’ve fallen, hit my head on the concrete and my lower back, and I’ve got post-traumatic amnesia, which thankfully has recovered.

“What happened was I’ve fallen and I’ve blacked out, I have to this day no memory of how I got to the hospital.”

At first, she also couldn’t remember the current state of the world due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

“My five kids were all home hovering over me and I was curled up like a strange cat on the stairs and I was talking gibberish saying, ‘Why are you all home from school?‘,” Kennedy said.

“They said, ‘mum because of lockdown, coronavirus’ and I go, ‘what’s coronavirus?'”

Kennedy’s children then called an ambulance which took her to hospital, where she later woke up in the trauma unit with her husband.

Thankfully, she has since been released from hospital and has gained back her memory, but is still recovering from a buckle fracture at home.

She also has a nuchal ligament tear and is required to wear a neck brace.

Overall, Kennedy said she was doing well and was likely to return to the radio from her home studio on Monday.

“I’m okay, I’m really sore, and I got a bit of a fright mainly because of losing my memory.”
