OK, I have had a fabulous day thus far
Finished my work day today came home checked this board (yes I am an addict) and thought I would stop by my aunts (she had a car accident a few months ago and is in hospital for surgery on her shoulder at the moment so I'm doing her chores around the house for her - feeding the cats, vacuuming, bins etc etc)
So I turn up at her house and go around to the backdoor as I don't have a key for the front and there's some guy at her window. Me at first being the complete twit I am think he's there to fix / deliver something so I say "hello"
The guy turns to me with long handled wire cutters in his hand and I notice he's been taking the flywire out of her window. My response is something along the lines of "oh hell" guy then runs at me and swings the wire cutters, kerfuffle ensues at the end of which he's unconcious and I have a broken arm - that's right I am now sitting here typing one handed as my left radius is broken in 2 places.
This means weeks of light duties at work on top of the time spent this evening at hospital, talking to the police.
ATM I just feel like curling up in a corner and crying. I was fine right up until the point where I tried to have a shower and then it all just hit me when I was tying that stupid plastic bag over the cast. What could have happened if I hadn't stopped the guy, if he'd overpowered me, the possibilities scared me and now even with all the doors locked I'm terrified of being in my own home. I hate feeling violated like this.
I don't know why I'm putting this up, I don't expect huge amounts of sympathy I guess I just needed to vent, specially after the general response amongst the police was I should have run as soon as I saw the guy rather then anything else.
