Hello Everyone,
I want to thank everyone for their support over what is now almost 2 years since the assault by Micheal Uzu. I want to provide an update, most critically on my health, but also on where things stand with the case. An award-winning independent journalist has covered my story which has the chronology of corruption, uncensored photos, and the video of Michael Uzu with the assault weapon he lied about seeing or possessing.
Warning: The video is disturbing. The photos of me are extremely graphic. I am begging and screaming for Micheal to leave my apartment, let go/put down my lacrosse stick, one of the things he used to split my head open, and he did not do either of those things. It is not the best quality but I did my best to capture the incident. Whatever I could, because I didn't think I would have another chance with no control of over the situation, how stunned I was and how the horrifying nature of what was taking place in my own home.
Now is the time to share and engage what has happened to spread awareness because it can happen to you. It can happen to any Delaware citizen. Nearly everything that has transpired has been highly illegal and nearly destroyed my life. But it didn't, I wouldn't let it.
Despite many attempts to get help, I have no lawyers, no professional guidance, just me fighting for my case solo. While suspected, upon recent revelations, this nightmare is confirmed to be more real than I expected: I am devastated to announce that the entities and individuals here coordinated an effort to protect an asset (Uzu) at my complete expense. While all of this has and continues to transpire, funded Ph.D research in return of a Permanent Residency Visa was Delaware's focus, not my life or right to justice. While this is run of the course for them, it isn't going to be that with me.
I have fought solo and won a FOIA violation against UD and successfully argued to overrule Family Court Commissioner James Maxwell's dismissal order denying me a protection order by violating my constitutional rights of due process by not swearing anyone in before trial. Governor Matt Meyer, as he did just a couple of weeks ago, publicly honors those killed by LGBTQ targeted violence, while this goes unresolved. I really should not have had to go through any of this, the process is harmful and designed to gaslight people into psychosis or silence. It is very disturbing.
Now, Most Important: My Health
Living with a TBI is hard to describe, especially because no case of TBI is the same and lessens understanding. But my experience matches those of many where it is extremely painful, frustrating, depressing, and demoralizing. Some days I felt physically good and can/could do more. Other days I could do nothing at all. But it went without saying that I was nowhere close to the ability of my former self and miserable all the time. I cried and writhed in complete agony nearly every single day for months in my apartment trying to fix all of this myself, I had to leave my job at BlackRock, liquidate my 401K at 28 years old to support myself, figure out accommodative processes to save my academic career at Georgetown. Wait out my lease in the place of the assault before I could move and begin starting over. Tripping and falling over all the time and one incident in November 2024 leading to me cracking my teeth on the sidewalk , breaking my first pair of specialized glasses that helped me see and use technology.
I did and said things I would not normally do or EVER say at all. My decision making and common sense was nearly non-existent after the TBI, resulting in compromising situations. People would assume that I am intoxicated or on other drugs when I was experiencing symptoms by trying to read street signs or was debilitated from the sirens, other noise in DC, amongst other reasons. I could not sleep due to the complex trauma, pain, public embarrassment and fear. While much improved, I have sleep issues to this day and must take mediation for it.
January-February 2024, I was around 160-170lbs and in great shape. Due to immobility and inconsistent on/off days by August 2024, I had lost nearly 40-50lbs and weighed in around 140-145lbs (On the RailSpin photo). I sat in a dark room for months alone due to the physical and emotional pain or I would embarrass myself if I socialized. I loved working out, which I am working to get back to. But unfortunately, to this day, while I have made improvements, I am not in the shape I want or should be in to be healthy. I couldn't buy food, medications, and the medical care was so expensive even being put on Medicaid by early 2025. I still pay out of pocket for all of my prescriptions that I absolutely cannot stop taking at this time. Medicaid does not make everything free as some presume. At this point, due to my Medicaid being tied to Delaware, I cannot get medical care anywhere else besides Delaware.
The anxiety hasn't gone away even post diagnosis. Outside of confirmed permanency of nerve shearing in my brain, balance problems, I am increasingly showing instances of 'pendulum jaw' - the proper names being Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Disorders, or Oromandibular Dystonia (Potential brain stem damage), I am doing everything to stop this from getting worse and it is really scaring me. But my brain clinic and I are in talks about it. My vision is also the most consistent lingering issue. The best improvements have been in cognition.
However, I have been able to receive care. The brain damage led to balance issues that I worked hard to resolve with home care and in-person treatment with Rail Spin. I didn't have enough money or help to continue to those sessions, but I hope to restart soon once I can afford it. My trauma optometrist gave me two pairs of glasses that have been LIFE CHANGING. One pair for computer use, the other for general wear. I can now get school work done much more efficiently and my masters thesis is coming along great. The brain clinic I go to has been the reason I am able to type this today - the cognitive improvements have been fantastic per my test scores and scans. My pain and headaches have reduced substantially thanks to a combination of nerve medications and thankfully covered injections. Mentally, I am in the process of redefining my mental health team as my needs have changed substantially and require specialized care.
I really need to get back to physical therapy, see my family doctor, chiropractor, acupuncturist, orthopedic doctor, eye doctor, and other DE based specialists to help me with my slew of issues. I am due to Delaware Vision Academy through the end of 2026 and likely onward. But for now, I have therapies at home such as vision therapy and specialized goggles I use every day to help fix the brain damage. I get to Delaware when I can afford the travel for treatment. I also do stretches and brain games on my phone to prepare myself to get back into the functioning world, which I get closer to each day. I have made SIGNIFICANT progress in my healing and have all of you to thank that assisted within your power to do so and supported this petition directly.
I will graduate from Georgetown, I will attend law school, I will have a successful career, and I will have the abundant life I deserve to live.
This is the fight of my life, which also has shown what I am made of and that I deserve the opportunity to make something of myself in this world. Nobody is going to take that away and I will never lose who I am.
I am, and have always been, Ty Moyer the Advocate, no longer am I Ty Moyer the Victim.
