ROFL BOX could use your prayers
ROFL BOX replied to Bob Lives!'s topic in Can You Help Me With This?
■L■O■N■G■C■A■T■ ●A●L●E●R●T● Updating things specific to this thread & adding +rep where needed. ■□ Approximately TWO WEEKS prior to the wreck, I got the truck registered with Hays County. Remember this for later. •• The truck sat idle for quite awhile as it needed a new engine & I was paying that off to the diesel shop in advance of a new engine. $ 20,000 which I figured was in the long run less expensive than a monthly diesel note (the old engine had 360,000 miles). ● Wreck was 016 Nov. 24, & it was in Oak Hill on Highway 290 Westbound @ a couple of minutes past 2200. • This was not a dirt road & I was NOT speeding, however there could have been some dust & construction pebbles on 290. ● Gemini (Samsung A I.) was not able to provide any cloud cover data for that time in 78736 however I do recall it was not wet). ● The "fixed body" dump truck (probably ~30 to 40 ft . long?), ...not a separate cab + Dumpasaurus trailer combo... was idle in the L of 2 Westbound lanes *(next to the concrete temporary wall) & a bit on the Eastern side of the new Discount Tire. •• It is unknown if the male driver was there unmoveable for 5 sends (just happened& Ō time to react) or 5 minutes & was simply a dumbfuck I'm going with dumbfuck • He spoke Ø Wnglish. In ABSOLUTELY NO WAY am I blaming ANY of these events as described on his ethnicity (or mine). ● Firefighters had to use a hydraulic piston to expand the cab bit as my R knee was pinned in a bit & that required Jaws of Life to cut the door off @ the hinge. • I was ambulatory & d&eclined the CareFlight helo ride because those Fulkerson ain't cheap. Mom (front / passenger) took the Travis County green bus trip) & my son + me (back seat, behind Mom) rode with my wife driving. Off to Saint David's South Austin Hospital. ● Once in the E.R.& processed, I got ×Ray's & the doc says "How-d you get all that metal in your hands?"" Me": "Ummm... ?" Sends me home with a 3 or 4 day. Supply of pain Rx (nothing else), saying "Let's see if that metal works it'sown way out'l & off we go (Monster. Is mostly OK except for minor seatbelt trauma). I am still mobile & had probably started thar thread prior detailing the wreck when I still had (2) thumbs. On advice of counsel, I requested via SMS to Black Lab that he murderate that thread. Mom has broken her L hand in3 additional places & ends up w/"Pins & Olates" in there ● 2 days later, R hand looks bad (swelling) & we go back to S.A H. ER.I. SAH admits me & eventually (don't know how much time later) I awoke with only one thumb. Hand surgeon said there had been a 50-50 on taking the whole hand above the wrist due to sepsis & unrelated infection due to Takata metal ķ there was also talk about BOTH thums, R AND L. Tthankfully my glasses took the hit & shielded my eyes Apparently while in surgery I had (2) strokes due to a nutso white count & sugar was +700. Took me a few days in "Step - Down" (just below ICU, where I was for 4 or 5 days)bto understand what had happened after the return to hospital & I was freaky deaky m... apparently saying all sorts of odd Shag² - worthy shit like "Big Bang Theory does NOT need a laugh track! They have GREAT writers!" & asking everyone if they had voted for Trump. & Suhooter. While a day or three after surgery, I complimented some cute nurses on their perky hooters. ••I was in Step - down for 2 weeks & my vision was F'd up. Colors were either baby food green or washed out Grey. Couldn't hold my phone during to my L hand being splinted. ● I had a 3m "Wound Vac" for around 4 months (pic to follow) & that device was 98% amazing - 2% a pain in the ass to drag around / take with to the bathroom, maintain, etc. Without it, I would slprobably still be a mangled looking mess with a gnarly gash. ■● While in SAH, I got "C-Diff" which is very common & essentially gives you a ba case of the shits. You try to fight it with a nasty tasting oral Rx & balance that out with a specific set of antibiotics which in turn means probuotics. I kept that nonsense going for probably 1½ months while home & I was literally sitting the bed (I e. a diaper some 3 or 4× a day). ■ I tried to be self ambulatory & make it to the bathroom (a short 5 or 6 feet away) & fell due to stroke issues affecting balance / strength. Th÷y put me on a bed monitor & if I even lifted my ass to adjust for comfort m, that thing would **TWEEDLE** to rat me out. & due to constant short staffing, it wouldtalk +10 minut÷s before anyone could assist, so probably 40% of the time when i hit the call button the said "Yeah, just shit in the disposable brief & we will wipe you up. & once home, I also fell in the bathroom around 0300 & got wedged between the terlit & wall... my wife could not get me up / unstuck & Monster had a hard time but eventually I got back to bed. ■ Total time in hospital was around 2 months & typing via my phone took FOR-EVER when my L hand was splinted. I still only use my L hand to tap & my R hand mobility (all remaining digits) sucks. I can't really "hold" the phone & like now, prop the hone against a pillow w/ the R hand trying to insure it doesn't slide. R hand capabilities to almost nil. No sensitivity & I do 1× / week O.T. because we cannot afford 2× a week like the therapist wants & I don't have transportation for that even if we COULD swing the $. ● L thumb has limitations on extension & it is a hassle picking my nose. I feel like "aggy winning at halftime' if I get out enough of a booger clump to free my nasal passages & despite allergy sprays, 2 or 3 days I'm back to clogged again. ◆ Just before X-mas, LeAnne lost her job within the Sain David's system (I won't go into specifics here, however it was petty shit) & as long as I was still in a Saint David's facility, her employee insurance was required maintain care & pay bills. Ø Deductible while in any H.C.A. facility, etc. She is employed again, lower $ than before & worse insurance which is why I am on UHC So... Still partially recovering from the strokes & we have burned up savings due to property taxes, Rx & health care deductibles & food / utilities. We don't eat out or go to the movies & don't have satellite except for internet through ViaSat (too remote for Fiber). We were generously gifted an HEB $ 200 gift card through a @Baboontyme connection months ago (I'm still not certain how that happened but am immensely grateful). ■ To anyone who called me after I got home, I wanted to chat with rvmmevery one if you however my brain was very foggy. I still don't have a rapid 'just answer the phone & go" capacity & don't know if I will be able to drive again. My retinas suffered frome the strokes & it has been a shitty time trying to get insurance coverage for a specialist who can do the injections (on Affordable Care Act to United Healthcareĺ. If anyone wants to see the fangoria amputation pics I will send via PM because doing the 20250210_221615.mp4 -

Texas Football 2025 Fall Camp - Kicking the Sonofabitch In

The kicker and OL suck. Doomed. -
Please, he hit all the weird Zionist notes and wasn't even subtle about it. It's a "war", it's "tragic" but people die in war. Clearly insinuating that they deserve the extermination taking place. Referencing a war in which we killed a million fucking people as an example of not going far enough. Blaming a powerless coalition of minority voters for Trump being in office. The only note he didn't hit was outright genocide denial but that's a pretty short hop away from what was already posted. It's tired, stupid bullshit that no one who has the first clue about the history of the conflict would ever post.

Look at the big spender, skipping the 79, 89, 99 cent menu and going straight for the $1.99 choice.

It's going to be hilarious watching people lose their minds when he wins.
