D15 lay off the pain killers.
I'm trying bud. This is no ordinary pain. I have to have L4, L5, and S1 fused. I tried other options but I have no health insurance either and my charity care is willing to cover it if it's done at the hospital. I can't go through this pain anymore man. I ate a whole bottle of Percocet the other day trying to end it but all I succeeded in was getting really really high and passing out.
Shawn helped me through some really rough times in my life and has always been there for me and I feel helpless. Like I failed a good friend of mine. I didn't even know about this until today. What kind of friend am I? I feel like I'm neglecting a friend in need.
You know over the years I've lost alot of friends and family, all people who meant alot to me. The only thing I have to live for now is my wife and kid and I almost lost them. I shouldn't have lived through what I went through as a teenager but God stuck by me and led me down the right path. I hope and pray that God does the same for my good friend Shawn and his friends and family because I know what they're going through right now. I tried to send him a text message but I don't even know if I have the right phone number anymore.
Dave, you've been a good friend to me too man. Do me a huge favor and tell Shawn that I'm praying deeply for him and that if he needs anything and I can help that I'm here for him. Will you do that for me please? My wife's phone as well as mine will not hold any calls for some reason. Verizon will not tell us why because even they don't know and they're getting compaints out the wazoo. But if you happen to talk to him sometime soon let him know that he's got a friend in PA thinking about him and praying to God that he holds him near and keeps him from harm.
May God bless Shawn Brandt. We're thinking about you here buddy!
