Boys are dumb.........

[amystoffel]

as if you didnt already know this....

but, DH and some other officers just got jumped by some inmates. In the process he smashed his head really hard on the concrete taking someone down. Now his head is hurting really bad and he is throwing up.







and he wont go to the doctor.






so if I'm MIA today it's because I will be taking him to Urgent Care.

[ditzyscrap]

((hugs)) I hope your DH is OK!!

[Darcy Baldwin]

Oh no, Amy! That's surely a pretty big concussion - he needs to go!!! I hope he'll let you take him and that he gets better fast!!!

[Heather Roselli]

He NEEDS to go to the Dr! He could just have a concussion, but he could have also bruised his brain or have a hematoma!!! Make him go!

[iJenny]

yeah, Heather is right. A concussion could be the least of his worries. He needs to get checked out asap. Vomitting after a head injury is a sign of trouble.

((hugs))

good luck.

[Leila]

Definitely make him go to the doctor!!

[HeatherKS]

You're right, boys are dumb. *hugs*

I hope you can convince him to go in and be seen. The tough guy act just isn't that impressive when you're worried about them, is it?

[mpatry]

If he's throwing up... it's very serious.... get him to the hospital.... now.

[rachelv]

Hope you've convinced him to go by now.

[ColleenSwerb]

Oh my goodness, how awful. Why are men so dumb?!

I really hope you're at urgent care with him right now!!

[lauren grier]

well I've been one to refuse to go to the dr after head injuries @ work.. but, if he's barfing I'd drag him to UC. I hope he's ok.

[heatherdumas]

Amy, I hope your dumb boy is okay. Go now!

I know!!! That is what I told him. He is on his way home right now, and I am going to force him to go.

[jessica31876]

yikes!! Hope you get him to go to urgent care. I remember one time my husband was pulling a bumper from a wrecked car years ago and he got it down to just one bolt left and the bolt broke and the bumper was under so much pressure when that happened it came around and hit him in the head. He passed out and isnt sure how long exactly he was out and he was the same way...he wasnt sure he needed to go have it checked out (and his boss was being a douchebag and kept saying to him he would be ok...not to worry about it) I finally convinvced him to go to the hospital and he had a hairline fracture in his skull. His was really bad swollen for like two months and it was literally black for like three weeks.

[sannajeannine]

Oh geez Amy, I hope he's ok!!

[~Julie~]

OMG how scary... I hope he stops being stubborn and goes to get it checked out.

[lizzyfizzy]

oh my word! hugs hun. he needs to go see someone.

[pbumbaca]

I hope someone else is driving him home!

I hope he's ok and gets to the hospital asap!

[dabittymama]

Yikes yikes!!! Silly boy. Make sure that wherever you take them they have a CT machine cuse that is what he'll need.

[lovely1m]

Oh, my goodness, Amy. That is scary stuff. THat's the first question they always ask after you hit your head, are you throwing up. Good luck taking him in! What a scary job he has.

[Nonnie917]

Sounds to me like a concussion. You should take him right away. Hope he's okay Amy. Keep us posted.

[CA Dreamer]

Oh, Amy!
I hope your DH is ok and I really hope he goes to the Dr. He really needs to!

[emilyscout]

oh my gosh. Men are so stubborn! I hope he listens and that he is ok!

[Julie Billingsley]

oh no Amy!! Let us know how it goes at the hospital. Skip Urgent Care, he needs a CAT scan and I don't think most UCs have those.

[Laura_A]

YIKES! I hope you've convinced him and he getting a scan right now! Let us know how he's doing.

[scrapmonkey]

He should have a scan and check it out immediately. He needs to file it with OSHA, since it happened on the job, because if there is something wrong with he or one of the other guys there may be a lawsuit and you will need that scan.
I really hope he isn't driving himself home - he could pass out and get into another accident.
Many prayers & thoughts going out to him that he really is allright.

[Paula]

OMGosh Amy!! Get him to the doctor!! I hope he's ok!

[Mandy]

I agree with Julie. Skip Urgent Care and take him straight to a hospital Emergency Room.
Vomiting could be a sign of severe head trauma.

[rochelle789]

Scary! I hope you're finding that it's not too serious, Amy.

[rachaelsscraps]

Oh Wow- Make him go to the ER stat!!!!!!

My uncle hit his head and was throwing up after, turned out he had a brain annerism (spelling?)

[crystalbird]

Oh no! Hoping you got him to the dr. and it's nothing serious.

They can be dumb, can't they? (And they don't even have to hit their heads for that to be the case!)
