Hi guys,
Just looking for somewhere to vent as staring at the same 4 dirty white walls all day everyday is getting a bit much.
As some of you know I work as a doorman and have done for roughly 18 years, well on fathers day my colleague and I were savagely attacked by a group of 6. While trying to save my colleague from being bottled I was pulled down and my leg kicked from the side. My Tibia shattered in 12 places obliterating my lower knee.
I've never felt pain like it. Due to my other injuries etc it took till the following Saturday also my 35th birthday to operate. There were some complications so I ended up in high dependecy for a few days. There's a lot of metal work in there, ive been told I'll need knee replacements periodically and will have arthritis for the rest of my life.
Now I'm stuck in here, with no idea when I'll be getting out. The important thing is I will be getting out though, things could have been much worse.
Police are confident that they will be able to prosecute, they have dna, finger prints and crystal clear pictures of all 6.
I guess I'm still shock over it all but am making slow progress. I know I'm not going to be able to return to work for some time, my plans are not to return at all. This has really opened my eyes.
