I worried about our friend Barry @Asylum I'm sorry if this post is against any rules of Mylot. During this evening over many comments with Barry and him not wanting to go anywhere not even on holiday, which is unlike him, he is always going somewhere as many of you know. It appears that the other night he went to the bathroom and after feeling dizzy fell and hit his head, which he didn’t remember until the following day when he saw dried blood from his forehead when looking in the mirror. I’m hoping that he get help or as gone help by now. I hope by writing this it will push him in to getting help, please Barry, get some help.

If you remember, he was sick during his last holiday and then was not online and some of us were worried on another post. Now he has returned and explained the latest events and even though he was here, he MUST get a check-up! When you live alone, if anything happens like the episode that he spoke of, it could be ages before anyone realises. I can understand thathe does not want to go into hospital but if he does not go to his doctor then he soon might have no choice

Yes, I agree with you that he might not have any choice in the matter. I didn't know he wasn't too well on his last holiday with not being here that much. I do hope that he gets checked out, I also understand the thoughts of going into hospital, I just hope he does the right thing and ask for help.

@kevin1877uk All is well then. He must be living alone as do many these days and this dizziness among the old is quite common.

Barry has been very sick during his last holiday and I think he is still recovering. I hope it's not too serious, I know he lives alone and not feeling well it's a serious problem.

Yes, I agree, Anna, I hope he gets checked out, living alone and having that kind of problems is good, feeling dizzy and passing out, isn't good.

@LadyDuck True living alone can be dangerous when you are like that. Sorry to hear about your husband feeling dizzy

@kevin1877uk He just posted a while ago as you've possibly seen. He didn't mention any problems apart from a fence and gate.

Yes, he should have himself checked for that. He might have a blood clot inside his head. I hope he will go to a doctor.

Speaking from experience, some people are very stubborn about their own health. I can't blame him for not wanting to go get tended to but I do hope he goes to see someone about it. I don't think the post is against any rules, but I hope he won't be upset at you for posting about it either!

Thank you, yes you are right some people can but, men more so than ladies. I'm sure barry will be fine with this, he is a good guy I'm just hoping that it makes him does something, not doing anything isn't good, you don't know what could happen.

@ScribbledAdNauseum Yes i totally agree, anything like you have mentioned, he really needs to, you just don't know what could happen next.

@kevin1877uk Yes, his head injury could have been much worse. It could be any number of things that would have caused him to fall. Anything from not getting enough nutrients to not sleeping well. I *think* a stroke may even cause dizziness and a brief unconsciousness. Seizures can cause you to fall, though you do tend to realize you've had one after waking up on the floor. Whatever it is, I hope he goes to get it checked out.

I agree, I hope he get's checked. It could be as simple as an ear infection, but could be more, so I agree, go see your doctor!

that's when it is so hard to only know people virtually. it's hard to really reach out when we don't see each other IRL. Hope all is well with Barry
