Now he's Home

He came home today. And, well, not many of my questions are answered, but here's the story I got (just to set our minds at rest)

He went to Korsakov with his uncle, who's the same age as him.
His uncle went back Saturday evening to Yuzhno Sakhalinsk, Rome stayed in Korsakov with friends and got rip-roaring drunk.
There were four friends.
Mobile reception in the area is dodgy so he left his mobile at his friend Andrei's house, while he and Dima went driving to the sea. They had a car accident- due to copious amounts of alcohol, Rome (conveniently) doesn't remember what happened. He woke up in hospital in Korsakov at about 1pm Sunday afternoon.
Dima was in the bed next to him. They got up and left the hospital on their own.

Went to Toli's place, their other friend. Apparently Toli had driven the car back to his place. Maybe he took them to the hospital??
They called Andrei to say they were coming over, and arrived at Andrei's at about 6pm. It seems that we'd missed Andrei on the road where he really was going to meet us and give us Roma's mobile.
It would seem Andrei didn't know how Roma and Dima were at the time.
Roma doesn't know why he told us he'd been transferred to hospital in Yuzhny...
All the ends still aren't meeting, but- that's the story I've got and I'll have to make do with it.

Thanks everyone who kept in touch and I'm sorry- very sorry! for getting us all concerned about very little.
Tracy and I explained to Roma how worried we'd been and how everybody had already heard about it, and he'd better be ready to answer everyone's questions for a long time to come.
I don't think he realises - cares? - how big a deal it was.

Times like this really make me wonder...
