You can continue to plead your case to the judge - that's who has the power to revoke the order. The DA can either support your request or fight it, but ultimately it's up to the judge in question. It doesn't really matter the spin that the DA put on the story - the fact that you had ANY injury, particularly one that caused you to seek medical care, indicates that a battery occurred. If you struck first, you can always plead this to the judge and say that his strike against you was in self defense, but then don't be surprised when they arrest and issue a restraining order against you as the admitted aggressor. The way the judge is going to see it, you might not have asked for or wanted the order, but going to the doctor indicates that injury occurred to the point where such an order is not only acceptable, but even a prudent judicial response.
No judge wants to be the one on the news when one party kills or again injures the other after a restraining order gets dropped. There's just no good way to answer the press, or the victim's family, or the mayor, or the state domestic violence coalition, or the local citizen court watch group, or the county domestic violence fatality review board, when they say "Your Honor, what were you thinking when you dropped the order after an incident of obvious violence and injury"? If you can come up with some stunning answer, that's what you should use.
