Robert Trump passes

[chicagoshannon]

Thanks for posting what he died from. I was wondering as it wasn't being said anywhere. I'm glad the President got the chance to say goodbye on Friday.

It is very sad. I lost my Dear Dad, 7 years ago due to him very sadly falling down the stairs, having a brain bleed, hematoma..he passed away within 16 hours of his tragic fall. What a shock to all of us and My Mom, he was relatively healthy and had just finished working outside puttering around his lawn as he loved to do. He was a wonderful father, loving and adoring Grandpa.

That’s very sad. I’m sorry.

It's a melancholy season of life when you get to be a certain age, your parents are gone, and realizing now it's your generation's turn. The first of "us" to go was my brother in 2015. My other brother and sister are 77 and 69 respectively. I'm 53 so it's likely I'll have to say good by to each of them eventually.

Mods must be taking the day off today..

On the contrary, there was one offensive post in this thread which I alerted on and which was duly removed. Hats off to the mods as far as I am concerned.

Rules haven't changed. Mods aren't paid for their time...they are volunteers and can't be everywhere all the time and certainly aren't hovering over their keyboards 24/7 scanning for infractions so if you see something questionable or objectionable hit the report button.

Falls kill 27,000 people 65 and older every year and account for more then 800,000 hospitalizations for the same age group.

I get where you’re going with this (and agree), and Trumps’s brother was 72, but I think @J’aime Paris’s husband is much younger than that. It is a concern for any age group when on anticoagulants.

Yes, my DH is much younger. Thx @Pea-n-Me !
I know to worry about deep gashes, internal bleeding from a car accident, major trauma, or the like while on blood thinners. I didn't realize a simple fall could cause a brain bleed/death.

I saw he wore a mask entering the hospital.

RIP Robert Trump and 172,870 Americans (so far) we have lost since March 2020

Every single one of those persons had someone who LOVED them too
And there are many who wouldn't have died if better decisions were made earlier.

RIP , Robert

My husband is on blood thinners. A few years back, while we were on vacation to DLR, he fell. He had a brain bleed and was in the ICU in St. Joe's for three days. Very frightening. Falling is one of my greatest fears at our age.

I am always conscious of this, old guy on Coumadin here.

I was a lifer on Coumadin (after having two blood clots), but I got so tired of having to have it checked all the time so a few months ago I switched to Eliquis. No checks anymore, love that. I do worry just a little about getting into a car accident. As when my mother was on Coumadin her doctor actually told her she would probably bleed out if she was ever in a serious car crash. Never thought about a brain bleed.
