Her sister Kerry Smith, who has multiple sclerosis, was also thrown from the sofa.
She described having to crawl to the hallway to call 999 on her landline in the moments following the impact, after her mobile phone disappeared under the debris.
The pair will both now have to move out of the home in Trentham, North Staffordshire, which has been in the family for 44 years.
Ashes belonging to their mother and father are still inside the bungalow.

Kerry, aged 56, said: “We were just sitting watching TV. She was sitting at one end of the settee and me the other. I heard this bang and I was on my knees.
"I looked back and I could see this van but I couldn’t see George. I had to crawl to the hallway to reach the landline. My mobile was somewhere under the rubble.
“I called the emergency services. The operator was asking me questions like ‘Is she breathing?’. She wasn't just breathing, she was screaming."
She continued: "There was a pool of blood, it was a bloodbath, it was my leg that was bleeding.

“The emergency services had to dig her out from the rubble. I had to go out to the ambulance without shoes or anything. I got in the ambulance but I wouldn’t leave until I saw my sister come out.”
Royal Stoke consultants are monitoring Georgina’s bleed on the brain and may operate once the swelling has reduced.
Kerry added: “It’s not going to be a quick process.”
Staffordshire Police have revealed that the occupants of the Ford Tourneo had fled from the Pacific Road crime scene following the incident in the early hours of Sunday, November 19.
Cops said they later arrested and bailed two 16-year-old boys and a 15-year-old girl on suspicion of aggravated vehicle taking, and a 15-year-old boy and a 15-year-old girl on suspicion of dangerous driving and aggravated vehicle taking.
Kerry added: “There will be no licence and no insurance and they must have been going at some speed to cause that devastation.
“Forty-four years of memories in that home are destroyed now. My mum and dad’s ashes are in the bungalow.
"There are things which are sentimental. It’s obliterated. It’s like a bomb’s hit, never mind a van.”
