It's ok, well I'm ok with it. As long as he doesn't enter the state of Missouri he won't have any issues. They were not going to track him down after he left the state a few days later. Lessons learned, I guess. I admit, I did get angry about that and the fact that not only had I been through the rape, the police pretty much let him go, but mainly that I ended up with something more 'severe' (having a hard time putting words to it.) I can't tell you how much 'lighter' I felt after surgery, not just because the pain and discomfort was gone, but that chapter finally had an ending.

I always get angry when I encounter injustice no matter if it is towards me or someone else. I know for sure that sooner or later people who harm others found someone who will harm them back badly. So, I guess sooner or later he will get what he deserves.

I have two friends who had the HPV and bad PAP results. They had a procedure (I don't know if it is the same) of cutting some tissue (with the pre-cancerous cells) of their cervix. My sister doesn't have the HPV but still had some not good looking cells on her cervix, so she had the same procedure. We are lucky that medicine has advanced in early diagnostics and we have the chance of getting rid of this stuff before they turn into something bad.
