I was stabbed 16 times

I can offer a little update, they went to court and were remanded in custody until they have to record their plea which is nice. Todays news article is here. The police did give me a little more info but I'm not sure it should be posted on the Internet :).

As for me, I'm knackered, I can't sleep and I had to end an examination because the doctor was getting to close and it was freaking me out, even though earlier on I was fine being poked and prodded by five doctors at the same time.

No doubt I'd be the same way, dude, so don't feel bad.
 
Good to hear there's progress in the justice area of things.

As to how the healing is going, sounds like it's going rough for you :( Hopefully it's a good sign, in some odd biological way. I guess that you're freaking out because what it is is beginning to sink in, though that's only an amateurish guess.

A little aside (emphasis mine):
The 20-year-old has also been charged with actual bodily harm

Actual? As opposed to what? Imaginary?

Take care, dude.

That's okay. It's perfectly understandable. You're just starting to come out of the shock. Be patient with yourself.
 
Well ... on the bright side ... we know know that 16 stab wounds won't kill you. You can rest assured that you're one tough guy.

(Trying to put a positive spin on this)

We've found Captain Robau's replacement for the ST sequel ;) hope you get well soon.

I've only just seen this thread, gwud. Get better soon. Hope they throw away the key on the toe-rags.
 
I've just found out that the one that stabbed me lives on the road next to me, so thats going to be terrible. On the upside I get to go home today.
 
^^ Hopefully, he'll soon be moving to a new neighborhood with high gray walls.

Actual? As opposed to what? Imaginary?

I think it means, as opposed to *intent* to cause bodily harm.

Nope, it means bodily harm of a lesser degree than 'grievous' bodily harm.
'Assault' has several categories in English law.
In increasing severity, these are:
Common Assault
Battery
Assault occasioning Actual Bodily Harm
Grievous Bodily Harm
Grievous Bodily Harm with Intent
Attempted Murder

All degrees require intent, although some are differentiated by what the intent was (eg. GBH and GBH w/intent are distinguished between whether you meant to just hurt someone a bit and ended up causing GBH and whether you actually set out to cause GBH)

I suspect this person charge with ABH is not charged with stabbing, but instead punching or kicking. A stab wound is sufficient for GBH.
 
YEAH!!!!!! on the going home today!
(Imagine me doing the "Dance of Joy" or Kermit the Frog's "Yeah Dance")

As to the proximity of the perp...hope any family is not the retaliation type. Be careful, there maybe friends/acquaintances in common.

Do follow all doc's instructions and do not try to push speedier recovery by pushing it...it will only backfire.

Be safe and keep us posted.
 
Yay for going home. I hope you'll take it easy for as long as you need to (and longer)!
