My dad fell getting out of the bathtub. Can I get some vibes for him tonight. We haven't
yet made up our minds whether or not he needs to go to hospital or if it is just a bruise. He's in alot of pain.

4. Good Vibes... Better safe than sorry
IMHO, if it's that painful, it's worth getting a look- see. Even if it's just a bruise, it could be better to know that, and be able to not worry about "what is it?" Also, pain relief may be available @ the hospital!

5. I worry about that more and more the older I get...

...and I try to be extra-careful when I'm using conditioner as it seems
to make the tub slick for a little while.

I really hope it's just a bruise, but a bathtub fall can be VERY serious.
I think better safe than sorry is appropriate in this case.

Good vibes going out.

6. After sliding around the tub a bit one day from conditioner
I found a scrubber on a pole at Target. Works great on cleaning the tub.

7. I go along with the idea of having him get checked out
Better safe than sorry.

It's a cliche, but there's a reason for cliches. Best to your dad. Vibes, absolutely.

13. Give him a kiss and tell him to put the pride aside.
Then take him to the hospital.

14. Bathtubs and stairs are where most home accidents occur.
He may need an x-ray to make sure he hasn't broken anything. Hopefully he's only sustained a contusion. Either way he'll almost certainly be prescribed something for pain.

15. Talk hin in to going for a look-see.
Not treating an injury could invite bigger problems later on. We have a hand grip installed on the wall of our bath. I occasionally bump my elbow on it, but haven't taken it down because I know it will come in handy later.

17. He saw a doctor today. He has an appointment for an xray tomorrow. All in all the doctor wasn't
too worried about him which is good news.
