I was stabbed 16 times

Im so happy you seem to be doing alright. Very awful experience, but very brave of you to step in. If more people would think like you there would be less crime out there.
Get well soon.

Once you're back on your feet, gwud, I'd suggest taking some martial arts lessons if you haven't already. They're certainly empowering both psychologically and physically, and will help ensure that this kind of thing doesn't happen again.

I question, if I may - what did it feel like it be stabbed? I know the sensation must be difficult to articulate without a common frame of reference (I'd have to get stabbed to properly understand what you mean), if you'd be willing to try and if its not too personal or unpleasent I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

To be honest it didn't hurt at all and I didn't believe it'd happened until I got into the ambulance. After they kicked me to the floor the adrenalin (or however you spell that) kicked in and all I felt was a dull sensation of things happening. After I got up and started running, my friend noticed the blood and ripped my shirt off. I thought it was just a scratch that was bleeding a lot. I refused to be strechered into the ambulance as the woman was tiny and I didn't want her to hurt herself, it wasn't until they stuck two drips into me and felt over my body that I realised it was something serious. They estimated ten stab wounds in the ambulance and found another six at hospital. I can tell you it's the quickest I've ever been seen at a&e.

Bears thank you for the offer but at the moment I'm trying not to think about it in too much depth - I saw myself for the first time yesterday and I look a right mess, my face is a weird shape and I now have a random sticking out Spock ear, it took all my effort to not start sobbing and it's not something I want to do on front of people.

Thanks, I thought that might be the case. Adrenaline goes a long way, to be sure. I've never been stabbed, but the one time I got the shit kicked out of me it was the same way. Hell, I didn't even realize I was losing the fight, much less feel the pain from it.

Did the jerkoff manage to hit any organs, or was it all skin and muscle damage?

Life has dramatically improved for me in the 6 months since the assault.

Excellent-- I'm happy to hear that.

Don't worry, that will improve quickly. When I had jaw surgery in High School, I went from looking like a skinny geek to looking like Meatloaf-- the singer, I mean-- because of the swelling. Give the swelling a couple of days to go down and the wounds a couple of days to lose their rawness and things will look much better.

Shocking to hear.

Good luck with your recovery gwud.

 

[AdAstra]

Hang in there, gwud!

I'm glad you're ok.

So I'm on day two in hospital from being stabbed early on Saturday morning. I've been stabbed 16 times across my body including my neck, chest, head, arms, leg and six times in my back.

I'm going to be in hospital for another couple of days as I've got an infection in the wounds on my neck and ear.

The two people are in custody as my friend identified the one that stabbed me.

Jeez

Shooting's too good for the cunts

 

[erastus25]

You're officially a badass and a good Samaritan. And a lot braver than I am! I hope you landed a punch or two on them in the process. Best of luck in your recovery.

 

[Alpha_Geek]

Hopefully stab 17 was averted by giving the perps "The Look".

 

[Locutus of Bored]

Jesus Christ. Gwud, you don't happen to have an adamantium endoskeleton, do you?

I'm sorry to hear that this happened to you, and I wish you a speedy recovery. But you shoud be proud of yourself for doing the right thing. You're awesome.

 

[Cakes488]

Last time I heard of anybody getting stabbed this amount of times it was my friends mother. His father killed her and I'll never forget she was stabbed 17 times.

Speedy recovery and you're a real stand up human being. We need more of your kind in the world.

 

[Kira's Mom]

Good God. Glad you survived! I hope you heal quickly!

 

[ancientone51]

gud sounds as if you are doing well. Please cry. It actually helps the body get rid of toxins, it is one of nature's ways of healing.

And talk to Bears (Yeah you for doing so well!). You may not have to talk now, but DO NOT bottle it all up inside. Talking it out is also one of nature's way of healing well.

Even the posting here is a help, but you need to surround yourself with soem IRL help and discussions as well.

You folks are still on my list of good thoughts and vibs.

 

[JAG]

Feel better gwud!

 

[John Clark]

I read about this in the paper and am sorry to hear about it.

Hope you get fixed up soon.

 

[Alpha_Geek]

...And talk to Bears ...

For gods sake man, he's been stabbed 17 times, and you want him to converse with a grizzly???

 

[DarkHelmet]

Damn gwud, I'm glad you're alive. My thoughts are with you on speedy recovery.

 

[sidious618]

Just wanted to once again wish you well.

 

[Gibraltar]

Yikes! Glad you're recovering from your wounds and that the criminals have been caught.

I think we're gonna have to call you Fifty Shilling now.

Hey! I'm more of a Care Bear than a grizzly!

 

[ShamelessMcBundy]

So i know its only been like a day, but any update for us? Feeling a little better?

Good thoughts your way, man.
