I used to live in Rockledge, in fact that's where I met my (now ex) wife. I live on the other side of the state (Tampa Bay) now.
But geez...I mean, I read his posts on that other forum. WTH?!?!? :shocked:

the worst part is that I can't stand prescription painkillers becasue they make me nauseated and sick to my stomache so I'm pretty much stuck with just exedrine and glennfiddich !
BS.
There are MANY different types of prescription painkillers. I highly doubt he's tried ALL of them and they ALL make him "sick to his stomach". Besides, would you rather a.) be in excruciating pain from a broken collarbone, or b.) be sick "nauseated and sick to their stomach"?
(FWIW, I take multiple painkillers - Percocet, Vicodin, morphine time release capsules, and Soma, a muscle relaxer - for a broken back I got whilst serving in the Army back in 1994, been on them for 10+ years now, and will be all my life due to the constant pain. I've never met anyone who's either gotten "sick to their stomach" from prescription painkillers (I've heard of people who react that way to one, but get a different prescription and they're fine), or who had a broken collarbone and
refused to take painkillers. It's more likely that he can't
afford the painkillers, since he says he doesn't have insurance.) Also, as someone else stated, it's ah it-and-run, so the cops would be looking for whomever was driving the truck.
Besides, the whole thing about him "having to pop the bone back into place" is a crock, and makes me believe he's never had a broken collarbone. I have. It's
excruciating, and if the bone were "popping out of place" he wouldn't be able to "push it back into place" himself, he'd pass out from the pain, and he'd be begging to take those painkillers that "make him sick to his stomach".
Regardless, from the "details" he provided, it does sound to me like he's lying. Ya gotta kep the lies simple, dude, or else they start to *sound* like lies!
If he said he'd been in an accident, but left out the "little old lady" and the "feel free to call the hospital, I gave them permission to give my info out" bit, it might have been believable. Unfortunately, as someone else pointed out, HIPAA regulations prevent hospitals from giving out info like that even if the patient "gives permission". :shakehead:
I saw the post from someone else about his penis getting caught in the lathe, and thought it was a real post by him until I re-read it and realized it was "excuses part 3". :rotflmao1:
That sucks, though. yet another reason I don't like to (and basically refuse to) pay for something in advance of it being done.
