He's 85 and he fell 3 or 4 days ago(sorry, I haven't had much sleep since so my time is a little screwed up). He didn't hit his head or break anything, just skinned his knees and bruised his elbow, but it really shook him up. I brought him home with me and have been watching over him the whole time. At first he was eating and drinking fine., and his oxygen was good. Then he started going down hill. He ate less and less and couldn't drink water without coughing and spitting it back up, and he has extreme diarreah . His oxygen went down to 89 and his pulse went up to 122. Got extremely weak. I had to call the ambulance though I was afraid to. Of course the doc says he has COVID which is BULLSHIT!

Wow, glad your Mom is ok! I think a lot of people die in hospital due to incompetence. My Mom broke her hip in the hospital because they wouldn't help her to the bathroom and she didn't want to pee the bed (she had gotten beatings for peeing the bed as a child. found out when she was in her 30's it was due to the fact that she only had one kidney and didn't know it). They wouldn't operate for over a year because she was a heavy smoker and wouldn't quit. My spouse's mom died because she had a bed sore and the docs and nurses didn't take care of it. The infection went into her tail bone and spine.
