My right eye had the most damage and I thought it was specifically from the strikes to my face. When it happened, I went to the emergency room to get checked out since he had also hit me with a fisted hand to the face several times. I called the police and now that he has been arrested, all of a sudden he has voluntary memory lapse of choking me. A few days past 3 weeks ago, my long time now ex-boyfriend went off into some kind of fanatical rage and choked my larynx by depression for about 30 to 40 seconds. I wrap up tight in the cold weather to be careful not to get sick, since I am taking anti rejection drugs from receiving a heart transplant a little over a year ago. I complained to my doctor that my throat feels achy and as if it is closing up and is scratchy and it has been hard to swallow.
