its about impossible to type with your hands in a cast
give me 10 minutes from first poisting to finish this topic
itll slowly make sense
with hands in huge casts you bump stuff hit stuff and click fucking buttons you didnt even know exist and i t erases 5 minutes of workin a blink
very frustrating so i have to type a sentence or two then post to not lose it. go baCK EDIT CORRECT TYPOS add 2 more sent etc and repost
very frustrating but this is my miserable life now
on 3 april i was in a major accident that seen me life flighted to the trauma unit in gainesville 80 miles away
i spent 2 weekd there then sent to a rehab facility in jax for another week to learn how to walk again, ti stand again how to go to the bathroom again wash hands again etc all the simple shit we take for granted usually
anyone who has ever been in a place like this understands how humiliating and challenging it can be to do even the most basic stuff
iwhen they fly you they dont have time to pick up personal stuff etc they are tryimg to save your life and time is of the essence so i had nothing with me and living alone nobody to ru n and get it really besides my phone got destroyed and they are really asshole about letting simeome get new phone on your name
i just got home today so thiis is my first time back online really
so currently i sit with
broken ankle
blown out knee
banged to shit leg
broken ribs
punctured lung ( thankfully not catastrophically) they didnt have to pincture to re inflate just tiny needje
broken scapula
broke clavicle
bruised up chest torso
broken wrist with steel plate in it
torn bicep tricep and that other one back there
2 rupture disc in neck needing further surgery and mri s needed etc to see damage to knee once swelling goes down
im in a lot of pain it ttook me 20 minutes to type this little bit fuck ficing small typo deal with it
i literally can lift maybe 5 lb and doing so kills my shoulder
i phtsically cannot do coffee i can barely wipe my own ass w/o pain and tears not that you can go anyways with all the pain meds
ALL ORDERS MADE FROM APRIL 3 TO DATE WILL BE REFUNDED IN FULL SORRY NO EXCEPTIONS
ALL ORDERS ON HOLD UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE
pJEASE give me a day to make it thru all the pay pals and reverse the transactions
im sorry but i have to work on healing first and know im gonna be buried in follow up appointments 8 more weeks of op rehab etc
the good news is when i do get back all your coffees will still be here waiting for you to reorder
i apologize for this latest mess i caused

Aaron,
Sorry to hear about this, glad you are still with us. Prayers for a full and detour free recovery.

Aaron, you relax and heal. Do what ya gotta do. We're all glad you're as ok as you are after what it sounds like you've been through already, not to mention what you'll be going through to recoup. Hang in there, our prayers are with you for your recovery.
-
Wow. Glad you're still with us. Best of luck as you recover from this.
-
Take care of yourself first, Aaron! You can refund mine or you can sit on it until you feel like you can do something with it, either one. You don't need to grovel through PayPal on my behalf, it's not like I'll stop drinking coffee between now and then.
Best wishes on your recovery.
-
Praying for a full and quick recovery.

Hang in there Aaron. Good luck on your recovery.

Sorry to hear that, soldier. Get well soon.
-
Aaron,
Paypal sent me refund notices yesterday, which led me here. Jiminy Christmas, man!! Heal up, mend, but be patient with yourself (zero pun intended).
-
Aaron, I’m sorry to hear about the accident. I hope you feel better soon.
I haven’t received the refund yet for my order of 20 lbs of Bali Kintamani Natural. No rush on my end. If you’re still able to ship it when things settle down, I’m happy to wait.
Thanks, and wishing you a smooth recovery.
-
Aaron,
My goodness I just became aware of your accident.
First Priority take care of yourself. Healing may be slow but you own to yourself not to overdo what the doctors and physical therapists tell you. From firsthand experience, I did not listen to them and went back into surgery, reseting the road to recovery.
Remember you need the time to heal and do what it takes to accomplish that goal.
Take care and take it as it comes.
-
Get well soon, Aaron!
-
Aaron,
I was sorry to hear about your recent accident. Wishing you a smooth and speedy recovery!

im doing a lot better here. wrist is still shot but i can kind of carry things on my arm, just dont bend hand/wrist.
im going to try to re open probably this coming monday. give me the weekend to get things straightened up a bit and ready to go and ill hopefully if i am cleared, get back to it monday, and ship orders as they come in instead of waiting once a week, that should hopefully keep the impulse volume down. i talked to the delivery place and he said hed be more than happy to get the stuff out of my truck for me. ive already did a test run and i can actually wrap the 25/30 on the truck so its already there, so if i gotsomeone to trake it off, we should be good to go.
lets keep fingers crossed.... well more crossed than they already are from being busted up ;D

I want coffee as much as anyone but I'm sure we can all wait. Don't push yourself and mess up what recovery you already have made. That said......glad you're feeling as well as you must.

Well, i did some work today and well... the wrist is giving me some issues, not sure whats going on, ...but can tell right now its going to be several more weeks at least on that.
i still can pick up maybe 5 lbs and it hurts like sin, twisting is a no go, and clenching gives a burn sensation. fingers are all swole up, not sure why they were down but last week swelled and didnt go back down so....
monday and wednesday i got appointments with all the doctors to check out all the broken and banged up shit.
ill know wed whats going on with the wrist and pray it does not need resetting or anything awful like that.
with that.
im gonna hold off onany attempts to do coffee until after i speak to the doc on wednesday, i dont want to trash something worse than it already is by rushing, i already know arm / hand is going to take 12 weeks to get back to just, beginning to be like it was, don't need to push that back another 2 months.
i already have 'methods' in my evil little head how i can make this work even though i cant lift shit. (ill pack it in the back of the truck, that way i bring coffee there 5 lb at a time, spin the box to tape it and when it comes time to deliver, the guy at the ups point already said he'd be happy to help me unload so..) we will figure a way to get coffee moving again, just need to be slow, and see that i wont cause more damage first.
trust me, i want to get beans moving as much as you want them, i got about 20k of coffee laying arouind here i need to move, thats what helps pay the bills!!
why is it so damned hard to find decent help anymore. when i was a kid, you were grateful to have a job and worked hard, because you were happy to be working. now these miserable little shits act like they are doing you a favor just by showing up, want to play on the god damned phone all fkn day, and think they are worth 30 dollars an hour for the whole 10 or 15 minutes out of the hour they might actually do some work.
i actually timed it, and was offering 50 cents / lb to bag box and label up coffee. it's not hard work, take beans out of a big bag, put in little bags, put little bags in box, tape box shut, put label on box, move to shipping container. working at a steady pace, im not talking crazy breakneck speed, but actually working steady... you could make 30 to 40 dollars an hour!! but you ARE working the whole hour, baqging beans. but it seems most are allergic to manual labor anymore. its not hard work, the heaviest package weighs what 32 lbs, you might do what 3 or 5 at max an hour? its not complicated work, put bean in bag, put label in bag, zip bag shut, put bag in box, tape box shut... no real skill needed, a fkn chimpanzee could do it. the few times i did try letting someone bag for me, i even let them take the beans home with them, work on their own schedule. it was too much for them. too complicated, too much 'adulting' required asking some sorry ass Z to try to show some responsibility for a change. hopefully elon gets those optimus bots for sale and they dont cost 45k. that would be a perfect tool, simple job it could learn and handle all day and night w/o pissing off customers, no hr on speed dial, no coming in late, no hangover, etc etc. hell i could even teach it to yell at paco when he gets too loud :P oh well... soon.
hopefully by the end of the week ill be able to get bagging but until i find out whats happening to my wrist, why its so sore and 'stabby' i cant chance it. keep fingers crossed.
