  1. As said in the new post, if you want to see the Fangoria pics, send a PM (or text if you have my digits)
  2. & yet... this dumbass still has 2 thumbs & didn't stroke out.
  3. ■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 l]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 [mention=207]Baboontyme[/mention] 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 thing is a hassle with that many. Slight "yay" is my hand has healed to where I most likely will NOT need a 'Cadaver Flap" or any skin graft the L hand is maybe 50% functional (is how I exclusively write via text). LeAnne has been amazing through all of this & I am acutely aware of how stressed out she is over both my health AND our finances. If anyone of y'all have a real life $rich$ Nigerian Princess connection, send her (or him) him my way... I'm not above money for platonic marriage to establish US citizenship. I have been trying to find some sort of genuine "work from home" thing & would need to enable some sorta Chat-to-Text software. ANY sort of customer service type job would help if I can get the connection to my computer to function with it ◆◆To the lawsuit:. No uninsured motorist coverage (me) V. No insurance coverage / no traceable lineage on his dumper (him). Even if we DID know the status (where) for the dump truck, it would not exceed any recoverable value to sue & win. We don't even know if he was cited for no insurance or no license.. ****remember up top where I said "registration" w/? Hays County"¿ 10 days AFTER the wreck, I got mail from Takata notifying me the airbag was under recall ◆◆[emoji814]︎[emoji814]︎ AND... on with the photos. Thank for sticking through this LongCat read https://media.surlyhorns.com/monthly_2025_08/20241106_221246.jpg.b7c504c4a55586bee7f8c29a8d58db3a.jpg 20250210_221615.mp4
  4. @caliHORNia What's the common split (%:%) for a collab originator : co-writer?
  5. I am related (by marriage) to people who say "well OF COURSE they didn't. As soon as we found out about it & got our shit together, Obama. Shut it down!"
  6. Clarify... do you mean from somewhere in Texas to C-Bus & back to the origin or from an airport in Ohio to the Shoe & back the next day?
  7. Unfortunately, unless you're a complete piece of shit like Trump is, you cannot wish for unfortunate events to befall this one person & not get a visit from the Secret Service or FBI.
  8. (waves hand at a generic "America")
  9. Are we gonna have to be content (unwillingly) with knowing Trump is a racist, lying sack of shit who somehow weasels his way out of everything... & that's ALL we get to do is bitch & hope for his demise? Because it seems that's all rational people have.
  10. Are you disputing that among the Trumpian type "Proud Boys" population that anti-Jewish sentiment doesn't run high? Want me to post pics of "Unite the Right" rallies & see who is out there toting the torches? "St Who the "Stand back & stand by" people are? Who is out there displaying the Nazi salute? I guarantee none of them were voting Kamala or Obama & not Schumer or Sanders.
