Old Collingwood Posted January 7, 2021 Author Share #611 Posted January 7, 2021 28 minutes ago, popeye the sailor said: take care of your brother.........this matters the most. has he been sick? were you aware of it? No Denis, he had cut himself off from the world not answered any text messages and his phone was just ringing out, we sent him a care package before christmas but was not delivered, cut along story - I found out who is local psot office is gave then a ring and the care package was with them, the nice chap there agreed to try and drop it at my bro's but on Two visits no reply so he left it with my bro's neighbour, she took it in and over several days tried knocking to get my bro to to answer, in the end she was worried and rung the police, they had to go through her's and over the fence and broke into his around the back where they found him very poorly and in his bed, they called for an ambulance who then put him in a streatcher and rushed him to hospital. From what I was told if we had not sent the parcel it would not have led his neighbour to have rung the police ans he would probably have been dead now as he hadn't eaten or drank for days. He has had a few things happen over a short time perod thats made him very depressed leading to him not looking after himself also with lock downs it must have scared him about going out even for food. It is a worry. but I try to give myself somthing to focus on as constatntly worrying about him wont change anything (hope that does not come across un caring) OC.
