Mike, @dropzone has been AWOL

Not yet. I’ve emailed and texted

Just received an email from Mikey’s daughter.
She said he doing well in the new place.
He not fully himself yet so he doesn’t have his phone or laptop.
She says she’s been telling him about my emails and he seems happy to know we are concerned here at the Dope.
Y’all keep him in mind.

That’s great news, Beck! Keep strong, Mikey!

Whew! I was worried.

Thanks, Beck; and thanks, @dropzone’s daughter.

Good to hear.

– puts on hat, horn-rimmed glasses, fake mustache and beard –

“I am not, not ever have been worried about @dropzone’s condition. Any evidence of such listed to this login was done by my evil twin. Yes. No further statement.”

But in all seriousness, raising a glass of fine adult beverage to DZ, the family, the friends, and the doctors.

Thank you for the update, Beck. Continued good vibes going out for him.

Same here. Go Mike! And thank you, Beck!

Love the positive news. Hope @dropzone is soon back to being himself again.

I’m glad there’s news, especially glad it’s positive.
We’re rooting for you, @dropzone !

StG

I hope to see you posting again soon.

Since it’s been over two weeks (since Sept 18), could the benefactress @Beckdawrek see if she could get an update from the @dropzone descendants? I’m breaking my deep cover here to ask.

I’ve emailed several times.
No reply.
I’ve begun monitoring obituaries in the Chicago papers.

It’s very depressing.
I’m trying, I promise.

:frowning_face:

I hate it when the best you can say is ‘no news is good news.’

Okay, thanks for letting us know. And we know you were keeping track, was just hoping for the best, rather than fears of the worst.

Oh boy, that’s worrisome. I hope it ends up being a “no news is good news” situation and they’re just really busy getting him settled and stuff, but I admit I’m worried. Thank you Beck for keeping us in the loop, even when there’s no news.

I did get a message this afternoon from Mikey’s daughter.
She been ill herself.

She said, “Dad has been cleared medically to move elsewhere”
Not sure what that means.
She also said he was better.

I feel like it’s good news

I seem to recall he’s been in a nursing home (or something like that) for quite some time, but my memory may be inaccurate.

Really, the last 4 + years just keeps on giving.

Okay, thanks Beck the Blessed for the update, and hopefully everyone will get out of this with a clean bill of health including LittleMissMike and family.

Thanks for the update, Beck. I think that’s very good news. Now take care of yourself so HE doesn’t have to worry about YOU, OK>

Thanks for your faithfulness in keeping up with DZ, Beck.

Makes me think we should pair up like we did when swimming at summer camp: The Doper Buddy System.
Then we can ask “Hey, I haven’t seen anything from kenobi lately, who’s his buddy? Can they check on him?”
