I was shot through the wall of my house, and my mattress. Bullets went into me as fragments, some small as sand, some much much bigger.
I was hit in the back as i lay in bed asleep. I felt the impact and heat. I bled a lot. Took weeks to heal, i was punctured bruised and singed all at once.
Most metal fragments lodged in my back muscles. Some worked out through the skin as i healed. That itched. Some stayed in and are still there. One big chunk is right near my spine. They are visible on x-ray.
I have scars. I worry about getting shot again. I worry about other people getting shot. I now have some back trouble. Not sure if it is related.
