Jaw wired shut
9 years ago
Well Last Thur I was working security at Northway Mall here in Alaska. I was paroling the outside area when I saw a black female adult that has been banned many times for life for shoplifting and fighting with another security officer. Mostly it is her boyfriend that is in bigger trouble. I pulled out my phone to record the whole thing. I calmly told her that her and her BF was banned from the mall for life for fighting. She started to get into my face yelling cussing. After a few min she knocked the phone out of my hand. I went to pick it up when she raised her hand and was going to slap me. I reached up and took hold of her hand. She then tried to raise her other hand to hit me but I grabbed onto the one as well. That was when her BF ran across the street and punched me in the jaw breaking it in 2 places. I went to the ER and had a CT scan done that that was when they told me my jaw was broken in 2 places. The sad thing is that the PD never came to the hospital to get a report from me. I was told PD did not show up for well over an hour after I had left in the ambulance.
I am doing well. The doc said my jaw would be wired shut for 4 weeks. I have been making all kinds of smoothies and other stuff in the blender that I have. I do have some swelling in the low jaw area but it is slowly getting better. Right now I have a craving for Taco Bell and pizza. When I get my jaw unwired I am heading streat to Taco Bell and Papa murphys and getting stuff to eat.
They still have not got the guy yet for he keeps slipping away from other security officers. Also this is all covered under workmen comp. The hospital gave me some nice drugs to take for pain. I have mostly been taking them at night so that I can sleep. I will update things later next week on how I am doing. My dad did come up from CA to help out a bit and get me back on my feet so that I ca get other stuff done.

Hope you recover swiftly. People who perpetrate violence need to be put to sleep.
Can you carry a taser?
I hope you recover soon!
I'm so sorry that this happened to you and that the PD didn't help much in the matter. <:'
*hugs*
Take care of yourself. I'll most certainly keep you in my prayers, for a swift recovery, and for justice to be served. <:.)
I'll continue to keep you in my prayers. <:)
