MEDICAL BILLS FROM BEING ASSAULTED

This is my story about how I ended up with medical bills from an assault.
It was April 27, 2011 I was on my way for a second time with a guy whom had a tree trimming service, This time was not going like the previous normal workday. This job as he mentioned was in Tillamook, I agreed to go work with him again as I needed to pay bills. I met him at an outpatient rehabilitation center. I had no idea of this person's criminal background, I was never informed by my counselor in the program, which we (my boss) shared the same one. 
It turned out that this person whom I was going to work with the second time, had an arrest record of 46 different arrests ranging from 2 rapes, making 2 fire bombs, setting people on fire, burglary and theft. 
On this day en route to what I believed a day of work, Something didn't feel right in my gut, I was realizing that for the most part the tools/equipment we needed to do the job were not in the vehicle. Meanwhile, I sensed he was up and down with his personality, his tone of voice would go from calm to violently angry, I would try to change the conversation up, as I was beginning to feel more and more uncomfortable. 
We pull over he goes into the store, so I took his phone, called a friend, they weren't home. I placed the phone in my pocket. He returned with a pack of smokes and a bottle of whiskey.
We take off driving he starts taking straight shots right out of the bottle as he is driving, we come to a mountain's base, he tells me this is where we are going. My survival mode kicks in, I started to take note of any landmarks I could, there was a huge G on the mountain.
One sign reads Cougar Mountain? No houses or people a tractor off to the side of a gravel road. I had told him it was getting darker and colder, asked him to please turn around, I'm not feeling comfortable with what was going on. I asked to stop and let me out many times. He told me "NO" I said "Let me out I will walk back, " he's yelling at me "NO", I firmly said "Stop the truck I want out!" as he was driving over by the edge of cliffs & yelling at me " YOU WANT OUT, THAN GET OUT!!" reaching over opening the door driving erratically, I closed the door knowing that I would not make it if I got out.
As he continued to drive up the mountain I asked him in a nice calm voice to stop I needed to go to the bathroom. He stopped I got out hid behind a tree and called the rehab center. The phone was roaming no service. I started to walk/run down the gravel road, I heard the truck and saw him coming so I slowed down. I didn't want to get him angry and think I was trying to get away. I told him he didn't give me a chance to go, since the trees were still pretty bare due to the season. I pointed and said "there's a good spot" I got out , hid and tried the phone again . Roaming, no service. I look towards the vehicle , he was passed out. I somehow was able to talk him into getting in the passanger seat. I started to drive back down the mountain, within moments he awoke. I was sexually assaulted but was able to grab the truck keys and run!
I could hear him running after me. I came to a place on the side of the mountain where the truck lights didn't show and plastered myself against it and held my breath. He stopped only a couple feet away, yelling and screaming. If I reached my hand out I could touch him. He started back to the vehicle. I was terrified, I turned around and started climbing. Pulling myself up by grabbing onto new growth trees, my foot slipped into the mud which sent my face straight downward and a tree spearing right through the right side of my face like a needle going through fabric. In my chin/cheek area, in my mouth and exited out under my right eye. I couldn't move. I felt leaves from the tree coming out under my eye. I broke the end of the branch and pulled myself up and off the tree closing my eyes, with every bit of energy I had. Then fell around 30 ft down the other side. 
It turns out at the end of the day I had Shattered my right eye socket, cheekbone and a few teeth were knocked out. Changing my appearance dramatically. Over $80,000.00 in medical bills.
Was told my face would be paralyzed and drooping for the rest of my life. I practiced and practiced in the mirror and had to teach myself how to speak again. 
I have dealt with not only emotional and physical but financially as well, through that traumatic experience. I feel as a victim of a crime, I have gotten in a matter of speaking "screwed" by all of this. They are trying to garnish my wages for the medical bills and it's ruining my credit.
I am not a "POOR ME TYPE!"
Bad things happen to good people. I know and I am very lucky to be alive and with my sight. I have spoken and speak to women in or have been assaulted. I wouldn't let this bring me down. There is no stopping me but myself. 
I received my associates in Veterinary Technology and have a National exam to take.
I do need another surgery, but the doctor's office said that medical insurance will not pay even if I had it. It's cosmetic!
I wrote to THE DOCTOR'S tv show on C.B.S. A while ago and they recently gave me a call!!!
I'm so excited! They are going to have some surgeons look at my face, scars and teeth to see if they can possibly help. Wish me luck! I just want a normal smile again and to see the ME I see when I look into the mirror again.
Thank you for your time and reading my story,
