Kat817 19 Posted July 9, 2006 OMG, I am so sorry this happen to you! I would be talking to a lawyer!! You will likely not get anything financially out of them, but at least the hospital, and oral surgeon will be going after THEM for payment and not you. I am an animal lover, but dogs like that need to be humanely (sp?) put down before they kill an innocent child. Get well soon! Kat ooooh just thought of something....you will not be able to eat!! Sneaky you!!! j/k, it isn't funny, was just a lame attempt to lighten up a bad situation....get well! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Road Queen 0 Posted July 9, 2006 John, I am so sorry for you. This should not happen to anyone. I worry alot about personal safety and am very watchful. I think in the US we tend to be more lax and trusting. Hopefully, this will never happen to you again. I will remember you in my prayers. Good luck in healing.

sunsett 2 Posted July 9, 2006 John that is terrible. Those medical bills should not be on you. Have you spoken with the police already? I guess your back on a liquid diet for a while? Thats good and bad. I will pray for no pain and quick healing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lianna 3 Posted July 9, 2006 Good grief! I would talk to the police and see what legal recourse you have, they can tell you what steps to take and what charges to file, if you havent already filed any. (Did you file a report over this incident?). At the very least the man needs to pay your medical expenses. Let us know what happens. Sending you hugs, sounds like it was a bad night all around. Hope this resolves itself without you having to pay for the medical bills. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stitchy 0 Posted July 9, 2006 Oh, John! How horrible! I think filing charges is in order. If you do press charges, I would always carry a big stick - for the dog and for the husband. May be retaliations. Enjoy your liquid diet :cry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leatha_g 4 Posted July 9, 2006 I definitely hope you contacted the police. This guy assaulted you and should be prosecuted as such. It's unfortunate, that in today's world, it's unsafe to stop and render aid or try to come to someone's rescue if they're being abused. I applaud you for intervening, but I'm sorry for what happened in the outcome. Heal quickly and please, file charges. People should not be allowed to get by with this behavior. God bless..

Jachut 487 Posted July 9, 2006 Wow, I hope you recover quickly. You're a gentleman and its a shame that that's the result of your brave actions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mousecrazy 2 Posted July 9, 2006 I think you are a hero, and brave, and I'm glad to know that not everyone is so afraid of harm they never stand up for what is right. Of course, you paid for it dearly, but you stood up for what's right. I think that counts for alot. Your children have a good role model. Now, take care of yourself, and follow through on that drunk bully by filing charges, and the dog needs to be put down because it is too dangerous. I'm sorry you are hurt, but proud of you, too.

Nana~ 4 Posted July 9, 2006 I'm sorry to hear this happened to you I hope you are getting things taken care of, what did the lady have to say? Did she even try to stop her BF from doing this? The man should have to pay all medical at the very least! I hope you get back normal soon!Hugs~ Nana~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ljones4521 4 Posted July 10, 2006 I too applaude you in your courageous act. This attack somehow feels so personal as I think of my fellow lapbanders as an extended family of sorts. It really pains me to know you have been injured. I wish you a speedy recovery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
