I bet that HIPAA wouldn't allow it, either.

Maybe someone can give us an update. Hoping for the best!

That is the address I went to, and he is listed as the owner. It is close to the church he has attended for years and was a member of the choir. It is also very close to TI, where he worked for 35 years.

I am almost positive there is not an HOA. If someone is coming by, I hope they will call my number I wrote on the note.

David will be 86 next month.

Think I would go by the Church and ask, the minister there may know where he is, since many churches offer services for those in need and being a long term member....

David called me 40 minutes ago.

He is in a rehab facility and SIG Forum is blocked.

He fell in his backyard when we were having 110+ deg days. He did not have his cellphone with him.

He was able to roll and drag himself into the shade of his back porch where he had a water hose.

His handyman found him after three days.

He sounded in good spirits considering all he had been through.

It was great hearing from him.

Thank God he's okay!

Thanks for letting us know, SW_Sig!

Great news!!!!

Thanks SW_Sig for the good news.

Let him know that it doesn't mean we're not going to continue stalking him.
Too bad he doesn't have access the forum.
Hope he is getting better so he can get out of there.

Excellent news!

T-Mobile offers a free hotspot device with a $20 / month service plan. That would connect directly to T-Mobile towers and by-pass the rehab facility's blockade of SIGforum, and any / all other sites that they block on their own wifi network. The other carriers have similar offers.

I was in a similar situation when I was in rehab for a month and a half following surgery, one of our members sent me a similar loaner hotspot device and it worked just fine.

Perhaps somebody in David's area can get something like this set up for him. I would be willing to contribute to offset the cost if David can not afford the service plan.

I will pitch in for 6 months rental

I don’t understand. They can’t block Internet access on his cell phone. Or have they taken his phone away? I mostly use my phone for SIGforum.

Thanks for letting us know.

Absolutely best news of the day! Thanks, SW_Sig, for the update.

Excellent news!

We will be back home all next week for Thanksgiving. Wonder if we could get a small group of locals together to go by and visit him; if it's allowed and if he's willing to receive us?

Short of that you might ask him if there's anything he needs that we could drop by for him.

Super glad to hear! Thanks for the update. Hope he keeps improving and can find a way to say hi soon.

That is the best news in a long time. Prayers do work.

That's great to hear. Thanks, SW_Sig. I'm sorry to say that I suspected the worst.

There are lots of good, good people in this forum. More than a few of them have shown up in this thread.

Outstanding!
