Title: something happened to my dad
Post by: bob on January 27, 2021, 02:24:05 PM
 :bluesad: :bluesad: :bluesad:

my brother told me that when he was on the phone with my dad not too long ago he could barely form sentences

he's at the doctor now

computer research says it's stroke, dysathia or aphasia -- I'm thinking aphasia

the person who was with my dad when this happened didn't think it was a stroke

Sorry to hear this.  I hope they get him evaluated promptly.   Someone with acute dysarthria should be transported by EMS to an emergency room.

tests still being done

still not sure what happened

my brother and his girlfriend who live much closer to Tennessee then me are driving down there tomorrow because the hospital he's at only allows 1 visitor per day

he's going to see what's going on and let me know --- then I guess I figure out what I'm doing

my dad is now home

the doctors still don't know what happened to him initially, at least to the best of my knowledge

I convinced him to stop being stupid doing the pandemic and to get the vaccine --- hoping, but I'll wait and see if he follows through


now both my brother and girlfriend have covid and lost their ability to smell
