From Soror Muna Abubaker-Johnson Dear FB/VSU family and loved ones. I hesitated to write this posting at first but decided it needed to be shared. Last Saturday (about 4 pm) December 6th I opened the front door of my apartment planning to take out the garbage when the phone rang so i proceeded to answer and chat. Whilst sitting on a stool in the kitchen with my back to the door and not even 5 minutes after answering a man came in behind me and if it was not for the shadow his arm cast (on the opposite wall) snaking around my throat and also the downward motion of the knife in his other hand this would not be my telling of the account. Fortunately i jumped off the stool only to see my neighbor (who i barely knew) standing there and telling me to give him my purse. I will not get into all the ensuing moves to escape him but i was able to run out to the balcony and hold the sliding glass door closed with all my might, all the while he kept trying to tear open from the inside . Meanwhile i kept screaming for people to call 911, there was a man with a knife trying to kill me. Thankfully neighbors started coming out calling and he ran out. When the lady next door saw me she screamed to the dispatcher i was covered in blood. This was a surprise to me because i had not felt the stabbings to my face (around the eyes) ,throat, neck and damage to my scalp. RAGE and ADRENALINE propelled me to keep fighting, God and my loved ones who have gone before were responsible for guiding me to make survival decisions like not locking myself in the bedroom. I just spent five days in the hospital trauma unit. Though this has shaken up loved ones from Senegal to Florida i am so grateful for my increased unshakeable faith in our heavenly Father and the total love of my parents and family...Especially my Mommy . That was my total mantra in the ambulance and ER Where is my Mom? Have you called my Mom So when I came to after 4 hours of surgery and stitches from the neck up there she was and i felt safe to float away on the medications. My spirits have been almost euphoric at times, i suppose there is a lot to be said for being delighted to STILL be ALIVE. As far as i know my attacker is still on the loose. Information is not forthcoming from the authorities, but have plans for that too. P.S. On a lighter note watched Jeopardy tonight and though i have a lump on my forehead and bump on my bighead i still kicked A_ _ ! so i guess the old noggin is as hard as my Mother always said. Love you all and thank you for letting me share . maktjohnson@gmail
