The Nightmare Begins

I've resisted sitting down to write this for so long because that would somehow make it real. More real than the nearly 2 years that have passed since, including a night in jail, court, and the realization that it was a set-up the whole time. I will explain all of this later, but we should start here.
On this day….

This was the day that I woke up in the hospital, completely alone. I was told that I had a broken back. There was a compression fracture of my spine from T3-T6 due to a seizure that I'd suffered in the dog park the day prior.
Not 12 hours later, I was assaulted by the Phoenix police, after I was put into handcuffs while in this back brace, having been accused of assaulting my roommate, Freddy. From there I spend a night in Jail on a cold floor. Alone because I can't be with the other inmates due to my broken back.
Any of this sound weird to you? I'm just getting started.
