On July 19, 2004 between the time of 3:15 AM and 3.30 AM I was assaulted on the job at a worksite, near where I live.
The area is notorious for being a drug haven and hooker stroll.
I will only refer to the worksite as "the bingo hall in a small strip mall."
As for myself, I am a security guard.
After being punched repeatedly in the head by a drug-craazed male, I fell unconscious. According to what I was told over the next two days in the Emergency Ward, I'd been rushed to the hospital by 3.40 AM.
Thanks to the Emergency Ward staff I regained consciousness within 3 hours. By July 23, I recovered full use of most of my senses to discover all the guy who beat me up wanted was the work cellphone my employer provides me.
A week later, here is what I repress: most of the memory of the assaulting me. He wanted my money, and threatened to kill me. Today, I just think of it with some puzzlement.
side effects of the concussion suffered at work:
headaches and dizziness.
aches in pain in legs and backside due to reduced walking.
Good news: physically I improved rapidly over the week I was in the hospital. As well, I was in denial about the extent of my injuries to prevent depression from overwhelming me.
Tomorrow I go for a CAT scan to see how well my brain's improved.
