When I found my dad passed out the Sun. before Thanksgiving 2014 , I check his vitals and he came to while I was and asked me to help him up. After checking for broken bones or other damage that would prevent me from moving him , I picked him up and asked what happened , he told me he slipped.

I wanted to take him to the hospital , but he said no , he was the boss , so I did not.

The following day we saw our orthopedic doctor and dad was structurally ok , however he suggested my dad see his cardiologist as soon as he could , we went the next day.

My dad had suffered a cardiac event that caused him to pass out , he did not slip.
A bunch of test were done and his heart was dying , and the doc told me age ( 101 ) and weakening of heart muscle had caused congestive heart failure , he died 6 months latter.

Comments and PM`s are all welcome.

Later guy`s.

I am sorry for your loss. My dad was in a nursing home for 2 years. In the end he was in great pain for a week or two. But I have all them memories that came before that. Hope you find a way to work through the many layers of grief that bubble up.
