Cld use some prayers please.

My dad had been eyeing a private lake on church rd since he moved here. He finally got up the nerve to ask the property owner if he cld fish there, n the owner said yes.
My dad got up bright n early this morning, n was gone by 6am when I got up. By 11 he still wasn't home, n I left to go run some errands.
My daughter calls telling me to get home ASAP, as my dad had been injured. Apparently when he was bringing his fishing stuff back to his car, he lost his balance and fell. After numerous attempts of trying to get up, he was unable to do so, n during the attempts, hit his head several times, n blacked out. Luckily, the lawn service was there maintaining the property, n spotted him on the ground. They managed to get him home, my dad refused an ambulance. He was covered in blood when I arrived, n he also broke his glasses. I have not been able to convince him to go to the dr, n I'm pretty sure something is wrong seeing as he cld not get up, n the fact he hit his head several times, n hard enough to cause it to bleed has me worried.
Please pray he will stop being so dang stubborn, n that he is ok. I very much appreciate it.

Prayers lifted up for you and your your Dad.....and also praying that somehow you can get him to see a Doctor.

Sure hope he gets better, prayers sent.

Make sure he does not go to sleep for the next 8 hours. Of he does and you can not wake him call the ambulance.

Prayers for you both.

Glad you were able to get him home safely! Praying that you can get him to go to the doc and that he will be fine from his injuries.Let us all know if there is anything else we can do to help you!!Do any of his meds say not to be exposed to sunlight for an extended time. It could have something to do with him getting dizzy!

Concussions are very serious and like WB said, don't let him go to sleep for a while. You should really try to get him to go to hospital just as a precaution because there could be small fractures that you cant see...

Gosh Barbie that is scary. Us old geezers are hard headed, so if he does not get better in a hurry drag him to the DR or hospital.
Prayers sent for him and you.

Praying for both of you along with the rest of your family. I would call an ambulance if he want go to the hospital. The paramedics know what to look for and at least could give him a thorough evaluation. God Bless!

Get him to ER immediately. I am PHTLS certified and know what I'm talking about. You don't want him to go to sleep at his house tonight.

Prayers for you and dad, barbie. If he doesnt feel better soon, talk him into seeing a doc. Hope all will be well. May God bless.

great point Maj

Thank u all. Major, u don't know my dad...if I call an ambulance he will go ape s... I have tried to talk some sense into him, but he isn't listening. He seems to be acting ok now tho, n because he also hurt his back, he is gonna sleep on the recliner, n I'm stayin on the couch, n I told him I am gonna wake him every 30 minutes. Of course he is fussing about that as well, but if I can't drag him to the dr, I'll just drive him insane til he agrees. I'm taking him to get his glasses fixed in the am, n I'm thinking I'll just take him by his dr...yeah he will yell n scream at me, but at least he can get checked out.
N good point on the meds, I went n looked, n 2 of the meds have warnings about the sun. Hopefully all goes well tonite, n thank y'all so very much for the prayers.

Prayers sent, hope all goes well Barbie.

This one too Barbie. Dad doesn't know best right now.

He needs to get checked out Barbie.....so many different things it could be and you need to find out what it was. I know old geezers don't want to go to the Dr.......I don't either......but I had a spell last year and it really scared me and I went to the ER and got checked out and I am glad I did.

Wow, i hate to hear about your dad, from previous posts you have made it is very obvious that you guys are close. It sounds as though he was very lucky that someone was around today and i hope and pray that luck holds out. It is very hard for someone who has been accustomed to doing what they want their entire lives to accept help, especially from their own children. I believe it's called the "powdered butt syndrome" once sombody has powdered your butt and raised you they don't take your advise on much of anything. I hope and pray that your dads problems today are quickly resolved and he is soon back to normal. until then watch him closely and do what your instincts tell you to do, remember it is always better to ask for forgiveness than permission

i hate to say it but WB IS RIGHT on sleep or go to DR.

Well said feesh

Prayers on the way......some good advice given but I understand you are trying to get him to agree. Hope he lets you get him checked out. Tell him at least then he can say "I told you so".

Good luck Barbie, I hope it all works out,

Prayers on the way, Barbie. As others have said, it's imperative that you keep him awake for at least 8 hours. Concussions aren't always noticed at first. I wouldn't settle for waking at intervals. Let him scream until he agrees to see the doctor. Good luck, girl. And God bless.
