Help me recover from brutal attack
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Ritchey.. On June 05 2023 I was brutally attacked by a metal pipe section wielding paranoid schizophrenic that was screaming about "snakes". My teeth were knocked out and I require major dental reconstructive surgery. I would be most appreciative of any assistance anyone can provide me
I want to take the time to thank all of you collectively. I am in the process of thanking each and every one of you individually, but thanks to the overwhelming response, (and it has been truly overwhelming indeed) it may take me a few days to get caught up. Such an outpouring of support, I can hardly know where to begin to thank all of you truly and mightily. We live in challenging times, and I hope we can all summon the necessary strength to deal with these challenges going forward.
I will have more to say later, I have an appointment schedule for a preliminary dental evaluation set for this Tuesday, the day after tomorrow. I have been able to maintain a diet that's heavily liquid, although I am able to gnaw through some softer foods with some difficulty. The recovery will be slow, and the work will have to happen in stages, over a period of several weeks. I will be exploring the best options this upcoming week.
Thanks again for the tremendous support, I look forward to sharing an 'after' photo once the work is complete. If anyone wants my current photo for some reason, I am willing to share that, but be forwarned, it's not pretty.
