I am fatboy08's wife. Every night after working out we get on here and we read through the forums and try to keep everyone updated. He has become really motivated and I could not be more proud of my husband.
I am here tonight to give everyone a bit of news that I wish I did not have to. On thurday evening my husband was attacked by 3 men leaving the gym. He was hit in the back of the head with a object, knocking him down to his knees. He was then beat repeatedly by these three men using some sort of object. During the beating my husband managed to grab one the men's leg, wrapping his arms around to roll him to the ground breaking his leg severely. Another member of the gym seen this happening and immediately ran out to help. Two men took off running and left the third man behind with a broken leg. Mike who is the man who ran out to help called the police.
My husband suffered 5 broken ribs, fractured eye socket, 18 stitches to the back of his head. He faught with paramedics as he did not know what had just happened. Severly beaten and scared it took 7 police officers and paramedics to get him down and strapped down for transport to hospital.
The man who had his leg broke turned out to be one of the men who he had trouble with a few weeks back and was kicked out of the gym. He gave the names of the other two men and they were later caught and arrested. Charges have been filed and the men are in very serious trouble.
My husband is doing fine, but very upset and depressed at this time. He has been told to stay away from the gym. He is just very down and I suggested for him to get on here and talk to you guys. He said he can not right now and feels like he just let you all down. The medics said all he could say was " I need to go to the gym...I need to go...I can not let everybody down".
I dont know if and when my husband will get on here again to read through the forums, but if he does I thought it would be great if you can show him some support and tell him to keep his head up. He truly feels as if he let me, his nephew and all of you down. He feels ashamed and I know his pride is hurt as he has never backed down or lost a fight. He has been in so many fights, scuffles as he always stood up for everyone wether he knew them or not. He is a huge teddy bear, but the best protector you could ask for. He is someone you want on your side or watching your back. I think this just really hurt his pride. He did not let me or my nephew down and I know he did not let any of you down. Please show him some support and encouragement.
Thank you all very much.. my husband truly appreciates all of you. He always says he wishes he had some friends around like the ones he has in the forums.
