My dad has MS and one leg doesnt lift up all the way when he walks. When he was in the basement doing some laundry he moved a mini couch that was on a rug. He bunched up the rug just enough that he tripped over it with his bad leg/foot.
He hit the steps going upstairs with his head. It bent his glasses all to crap and knocked them off his face, put a gouge in his nose and above his eye and there was this like 5" radius bloodied bruise on his forehead which has now swelled up into a huge bump.
I think the glasses probably caused the nose and cut above eye when he fell and lost them.
He would not go to hospital to get checked out, but I think he’s ok.
@Bowens Is your dad on blood thinners of any kind? If so, he really should be checked out at the ER since blunt force trauma to the head can cause a brain bleed.
Will do. We asked him a bunch of questions and stuff to see if he could answer them and he managed to. I would prefer if he went, but I dont see how we can force medical care on him when he’s conscious and lucid.
