Duck Dynasty star Uncle Si Robertson was hospitalized after a nasty fall while hunting last weekend. During the latest Duck Call Room podcast episode, Robertson was noticeably absent as he recovered from the hunting accident in Arkansas. According to his friend, Justin Martin, the accident occurred as he got off a boat. Martin declared that Robertson was responsible for the incident because he was hurrying to get off the boat.

“Typical Silas Robertson, he’s in a dang hurry to get out of the boat and into the Polaris, he fell,” Martin said. “He fell trying to get out of the boat…it’s steep right there. He went to take a long step instead of waiting on us.”
Martin then said that Uncle Si fell right on his oxygen tank but quickly got up.
“He bounced right back up,” Martin pointed out. “He didn’t want anybody to see that he fell.”
Uncle Si Tried to Deny He Injured Himself Despite Being Noticeably Hurt
While continuing to share details about the incident, Justin Martin said that Uncle Si attempted to deny he injured himself. However, everyone in the group noticed he was hurting.
“We get back to the clubhouse, and breakfast is done, and we’re looking up, and there’s no Si,” Martin explained. “He’s just sitting outside in the cold. I immediately thought he had a concussion because it was out of character. He ate, and he was real quiet. Another red flag, right?”
Despite going home and trying to relax after the injury, Uncle Si continued to struggle. Three days after the accident, the Duck Dynasty star was hospitalized. He had been experiencing a lot of pain and had low oxygen.
Although his wife, Christine, had suggested he go to urgent care, the doctors urged Uncle Si to go to the emergency room immediately.
After being admitted, Uncle Si endured a series of tests. This included X-rays of the lungs and ribs. It was determined that the reality TV star did not break his ribs. His bloodwork also came back clean.
The emergency room doctors suspect Uncle Si bruised his ribs during the fall. When it came to his low oxygen levels, his physicians assumed that he suffered from panic attacks. Uncle Si is now home recovering.
Phil Robertson Is Also Dealing With Health Issues
The hunting accident comes just weeks after the Robertson family announced Phil Robertson was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease.
“Phil’s not doing well,” Jase Robertson stated on Unashamed with the Robertson Family last month. “I think I spoke on the 1000th podcast, we were trying to figure out the diagnosis, but according to the doctors, he has some sort of blood disease causing all kinds of problems.”
“It’s like accelerated, and it’s causing problems with his entire body. And he has early stages of Alzheimer’s,” Jason added.
