Where he lives is so remote that it doesn't have a dedicated police phone number to call for a wellness check. I tried every number I could find and only today learned that I had to call the county sheriff's dispatch office to be put through to the local police authority.

My lord, it was a series of phone calls to dead ends but I got through to the wrong dispatch on Wednesday only to be told to call back on Friday (today) when it had been a week of no contact when theyd give me the right number to call. (Apparently they all use private cell phones.) I never should have mentioned that he often leaves for a few days to travel to a VA hospital for treatment because that's why I had to wait a week to ask for wellness check.

Well anyway, to get to the point, I called again today, a few minutes ago, and they are sending an officer to his home to check on him. Not sure when I'll hear back, but it should be sometime today. As soon as I do, I'll post again with whatever they tell me.

If he's not there, then I'll have to assume that he went to the VA and was hospitalized or something similar so can't connect with us until he's home and has his computer available. He doesn't have a cell phone.

OMG, they just called me back as I was posting and he is in the local hospital there and he's okay. I called the number but he didn't pick up so I'll try again later.

SO GLAD THAT HE'S OKAY!!
