Sunday plus Nine

I would like to update this wonderful community about what has transpired in the last few days after my assault. I was especially touched after the outpouring of well wishes and sympathy which are so needed by me at this rime.

I am meeting with the NYPD Hate crimes unit to finish the report as this is considered a hate crime. Weekly I go to the oral surgeon to replace, tighten and strengthen the screws in my mouth while my jaw is being repaired. No solid food for me, so I've lost some pounds which ironically make me feel slightly better. My sinuses are affected so I have medications for this, and the slight da,age done to my ear as the blow has diminished some of my hearing.

I saw therapist since I also suffer from BPD and suicidal ideation. I'm ok on that front since I am taking my meds, my hormones and of course my antibiotics.

The pain is excruciating. Not just in my jaw but in my life. I don't think I will ever understand hatred and why people must resort to violence to others, but living in a bizarre world where nuclear warheads are discussed as casually as having brunch, maybe i never will.
