DrugBuyers.Com: Can my doctor just cut me off oxycodone?????

D-
Thank you for the info. I feel like a tool. Compared to your daughter's terrible story my problems are very minor. I am very sorry for your loss. I know the feeling of loosing someone special and close.
June 21,2003 at 12:50 AM there was a car accident. The passengers were my girlfriend's two brothers(ages 17&20),another friend and myself. My girlfiend's youngest brother age 17 was the driver,because he WAS SOBER, not a drop af alcohol in his system. He lost control of the car and the drivers side was smashed by a telephone pole. I walked away with stitches,broken ribs and terrible back pain. Her brother age 20 and the other friend were injured with knee,shoulder,broken ribs and head injuries. Her youngest brother age 17 died on the way to the hospital. It was the worst night of my life. I was the only passenger who could move out of the car. I found Matt(age 17) laying 20 feet from the car as the ambulance arrived. I live every single day with guilt, anger and the terrible depression that my girlfriend and her family deal with.
They say everything happens for a reason. This one is a litlle hard to swallow. Everyone of us on this board were always taught to let the sober person drive. Well, we did and even though I still believe it was the right thing to do by letting him drive us, I am haunted with the "what if". What if I would have driven,what if anyone else was driving and Matt wasn't trying to impress the older guys by driving fast. I can't imagine how my girlfriend felt when she got the call that her two brothers, and boyfriend were just in a serious car accident less than one mile from her house. I can't imagine her parents pain and depression.
Sorry to get off the subject. But with D-'s story and my story, it puts things into perspective, thank God for everyday you are alive and live in good health. Live evryday as it is were your last. God bless you D and your daughter. God bless the little bother I never had.
I don't know why it is so easy to talk to strangers about my problems and I am sorry agian to get off the subject and bore everyone. Thanks to everyone for the input about handling my situation with my back pain. I feel this board is filled with good people and I am glad I found it.
