Biting my nails here

I'm starting to get worried about my dad...

He went to work last night at 10 and he hasn't been back since.  It's been almost 27 hours since he left.  He usually comes home at about 1-2 in the afternoon.  But if he has other work to do, he'll be back around dark.  But it's been raining off and on all day, so he wouldn't have been able to do any of his construction/gutter work.

I couldn't text him all day either b/c his phone was here recharging (he kept forgetting to recharge it all week, so it was completely dead last night when he left for work.)  So we haven't heard from him around here.  So, I called my brother paul to see if he'd heard from him, but he hasn't.

The reason I called him was b/c Dad's legs were infected and swollen last night when he went to work.  And sometimes when they get like that he ends up going to the hospital.  I know he stopped in the ER yesterday after he got off work and they wanted him to stop in this morning after work so they could check his legs again.  So I figured that maybe he went in and they admitted him.  But whenever he goes to the hospital, he calls Paul to let him know.  And Paul hasn't heard from him all day either.

It didn't start worrying me that he wasn't home until about 10pm.  He should have been home by then.  Now I'm really starting to worry and wonder where he is...

Oh no Dom, how nerve wrecking. Crossing my fingers nothing has happened to him. Let us know when you hear something, ok?
*hugs*

Any word on your dad yet Dom? I hope he's ok {{hugs}}

No word yet. He's been gone for 33 hours so far, only 13 of which are accounted for (1 to work, 12 @ work).

Oo. How terrible. Have you heard anything, is he back yet? *sends positive vibes*

Nothing yet. Called the hospital to see if he'd been admitted. Not there. Although one brother had an idea of where he might be.

Since he got off work yesterday morning and had other work that needed done in that town, he would have been working until about dark. And since he was supposed to work this morning, he probably just decided to save gas and slept in his van in the parking lot. That sounds like something he'd do. So, I guess we'll have to wait until it's time for him to be home from work.

I can imagine how you must feel right now. I hope he just decided to sleep in his van.
Wouldn't he have called you or your brother if he did? Would he know you'd be worried about him?

His cell was here and if he was sleeping in the parking lot, I don't know that they'd let him use the phone. And he'd probably just figure that we would figure out where he was.

I hope you're right about the sleeping in the parking lot. It's awful when family go missing. Keep us posted, I'll be keeping my fingers crossed he'll be home from work when it's time.
