I recently embarked on a road trip with my buddy Nick Wisda. The main point being that Nick was moving to California. He's been there for a few weeks now, and although we've got some pretty crazy stories from our travels, he's just gone through something much scarier. His story follows, please keep him in your thoughts and prayers:
I was in downtown fullerton, CA using my
computer on the sidewalk. It was 9.30 and sat for
about an hour. I did this same thing a couple
nights before w/ no problem.
A car came by and parked near me and two guys in the
back came out. They didnt look or say anything to me
as I watched cautiously. I shoulda thought
more of it since they parked in the road and no
parking spot almost right next to me. They
walked to the corner and in a bar or something and
a little later came back and I didnt really
think much of it. I continued on the computer and
next thing i knew, I got jacked in the mouth
hard and they snatched my computer. I hopped up
to my feet and screamed and went after the guys. I
don't really remember because I was in a
daze but either they just dropped it or I pulled it
from their hands, but they dropped my
computer and it smashed on the ground. All I
remember was lying down next to a bush on the curb
right next to the road holding on to their
opened car door. they jumped in and drove off.
Some people nearby ran over to see if I was ok,
gathered my things for me, and called the
police. I sat for a while and tried to keep some
of my blood in me. There was spattered blood all
over my sweater and pants. my white shoe
soles are still all bloody like i was jumping in
puddles of it. quickly police came by and made a
report. nobody was caught.
I drove myself to the emergency room and sat.
Eventually I was seen by a couple different
nurses with an hour or so between each visit. In
my 5 hour visit, they got a couple xrays
done, gave me a motrin, and told me to see a
dentist. Also, they couldnt stop the bleeding
so they put a tube in my nose and filled it with water
to fill the cavity to try to stop the bleeding. it
helped some but not much and i started bleeding out
of my eye.
I didnt stop bleeding till 12-15 hours later
and its been over a full day and i am still bleeding
once in a while. that night i managed to get
about 2 hours of sleep. every couple
minutes the blood running across my face woke me
up.
The next day in the afternoon, i went to see a
dentist. They didnt do anything for me but told
me some bad news. A couple teeth got knocked
out, and i had a few chipped teeth. they said i
need atleast one root canal and maybe 4
total. im gunna need a few crowns done on my
teeth. even some of my molars in the back of my
teeth got chipped! the WORST part is that my
whole jaw is messed up. they dont really know what
happened to me cause i have no broken jaw but i
cant bite down all the way. my teeth are all out of line
and my left side top and bottom teeth dont even
touch. to fix it, ill need braces for 2-3
years.
the tube in my nose has to stay in for 5 days total.
i guess i can get it out monday. it is slowing
causing swelling in my face and giving me a
black eye. also, im getting more blood in my
eye.
im not in very much pain. pressure in my face that
feels like nasal congestion comes and
goes. it hurts to talk. i cant eat almost
anything. oatmeal is a challenge. i tried
to eat a little bitty cut up piece of
watermelon and i cant even chew that.
i do have insurance but i dont know how much will be
covered and they say braces are only covered if you
are under 17 years old.
for now i plan to stay here in cali. Im going to heal
up and see what to do from there.
please tell peeps and pray for me
