seems to be in a small group:assualts


by: LARRY on Tue, Apr 15 2008

July 26, 2007. a day my wife, surley won;’t forget, but i sure have. Went to work for my 12 hr nightshift at a maximum security prison. Lock down came and as usual me and another guard (female), went in the day room to make count and make sure all doors were closed. as ssoon as i got up stairs i noticed several had gathered around her and giving her a hard time about something, being the alpamale i went downstiars to help , but somewhere in the journey i got slammed from the side by an inmate , on the left side, not remebering a thign , but seeing it in vedio tape , i fell to the right causing my head to hit a stainless steel table , stainless steel stool , and then concrete floor . luckly getting attention away from the other guard, she was able to get out to saftey. i on the other hand , was left to indure more assaults(kicks,hitting with , broome sticks, and anything else they could find ,)
it only lasted a minute or 2 but that short time has changed me forever. Not being the guy my wife married, mood swings, secuity issues, being a 4 th grader agian it seems when it comes to brain activity, no smell, or taste,learning to do something as simple as taking a step up stairs, wanting this to end in one way or another.. WILL IT EVER END?
