Update again: the paramedics said he’s fine and alert. He is literally slurring his words and is now pissed at me but fine fine I’m the irrational one for being my concerned at an old man being disoriented and slurring his words okay

Update: I feel like I’m overreacting but I called 911. I can’t drive so I can’t take him to the hospital myself. But he really seems out of it and was having visual hallucinations earlier and something is wrong

google stroke tests (FAST) and do one on him. if he fails or if hes borderline call 911 IMMEDIATELY. the earlier you can catch a stroke the more they can do for you. if they ask how long its been since he was normal ALWAYS say within the last 4 hours or so. there a lot of interventions they can do but protocol says that if its over 12/24 hours (depending on the hospital) they won’t do them

Like I keep saying things and I swear he’s not understanding what I’m saying. But he did answer all the paramedics questions fine so. Ugh idk

definitely keep a log for the rest of the night on your questions/comments to him and his responses or lack thereof.

I’m not sure if this is too much, but similar to what #1 said, maybe having a record of it in video or audio form would help to support your claim?
