Hi guys, sorry have been MIA all week... but Monday night/Tuesday morning, after having a total bitch of a day... it got worse. Yes, worse. As I was sitting awake, resarching medical journals etc... someone broke into my apartment and attacked me.
A guy came in, grabbed me from behind, and started smacking me in the face with his hands, demanding to know where the money was. I don't have any money... He demanded to know if there was no money, where was the product. What bloody product?!? When he did not get the answers he wanted, he slammed my head into the wall and I blacked out.
When I came to, my apartment was trashed, everything in complete disarray. Knocked over tables, dressers, lamps, drawers dumped out and tossed around. And I was bound. My hands behind my back and my ankles tied with rope and a rag stuffed in my mouth with a bandana tied across my face to hold it in place.
I managed to get the gag off and find my phone to call for help.
The police were total assholes. They treated me like I was a suspect, not a victim! They wouldn't even let me have a cigarette in my own home before taking me to the ER for cat scans and x-rays!!
The paramedics one was great the other a dick. He velcroed my hair to the belts, taped my head and my hair to the back board, and put me too high on the backboard so every bump they hit the plastic was digging into my head. The nice one, Steve, kept talking to me and held my hand until we got to the ER.
I have a mild concussion, rope burns, various bruises but no major damage. I was very lucky. The guys could have done so much worse. I was frusterated because I was in pain from my other, but the docs would not give me any pain meds because there's "nothing wrong".
Bastards! And I didn't have my purse, so I couldn't take anything of my own.
The thing that sucks the most is I am prety sure they meant to break into the flat below me - drug dealers but I can not prove it. And me? I live in a secure building where you have to be buzzed in... I had left my door unlocked. I'll not be making that mistake again!!! The cops think that he came in the fire escape, they popped the lock with a pocket knife in about 5 seconds.
So, I moved. Same complex, but a different building, different floor, different layout of apartment. I took the rest of the week off work. I just now got cable and internet back, and I wanted to let you all know I was ok, especially as it is not like me to drop off for days at a time, and we had that, er, morbid thread that I started last week.
Anyhow.... I'm here. Sore and a wee bit frightened, but alive.
