Injuries...
 

So guess who broke their nose in two places last night? holy hell did it bleed as well seriously I have a t-shirt that is covered in crusted blood it's pretty shocking i'm pretty sure I looked like something out of a zombie flick with all the blood running down my mouth and chin.

Have to wait 5 days for the swelling to go down before I can get it reset which is a horrible wait. Any one have anything similar and know what I have to look forward to when they reset my nose?

I remember when I was a kid my mom tripped over the dishwasher door that fell down randomly and smashed her face into the fridge... blood was like pooling on the floor. Utterly disgusting.

But I've never broken a bone or cartilidge before so I unfortunately cannot relate but I do empathize. Hoping it heals up nicely for you.

Last week a member at my pool went down the slide head-first into 1.22 m water. Face vs floor. Floor won. Nose was probably broken, cuts and bruises everywhere. I'm just glad that there was no head trauma. It could have easily been a spinal.

And people wonder why I get angry at people who go down head-first.

I cracked my head open when I was small. I still have the scar, though its only noticeable when you know it's there.

I ran into a door. That's the only thing I'm sure of, as no two stories of what I've been told happened are the same, and I was too young to remember anything other than trauma.

A dog bit me in the face once. It was funny too because it was one of those moment where time slows down because in my head I totally went "Wow, I just got my nose and cheek ripped open and I can't see out of my left eye. I wonder if it was damaged? I wonder if this is a good time to panic. You know what, it is. I'm gonna start panicking now."

And then I did.

Also, it was just blood in my eye from the wound on my nose. No eye damage.

i've broken my left arm, 3 fingers off that hand, dislocated my left shoulder, cracked 3 of my left ribs, did something bad to my left knee, and have broken my left foot 3 times.

the left side of my body hates me

As for resetting stuff, its not too bad. It may be different for a nose though, since thats not really a bone.

Like Fenris never broken anything, though not for lack of opportunity. I must have fallen of several dozen trees or buildings during my youth. I did once puncture my foot all the way through by landing on a upturned broken off bit of root while playing Australian football at a picnic. That was utterly freaky. Spent a while with foot bandaged up and in a esky(a kind of cooler), thought it might be minor til we noticed the water in the esky was going bright red. Then we had a better look at it and realised it really wasn't minor.

Also got swept downstream and went over a waterfall after screwing up crossing a stream while hiking. And fell of a cliff while drunk once. You know this is probably all building up. At some point my bones are just gonna give up and reduce to dust while inside my body.


How'd it happen? Fight, accident, freak event or random jackassery?

I was playing soccer/football leaped up for a header on the ball one guy held me down around the shoulders another guys leaps up for it as well I end up squashing my nose on the side of some ones skull.. 15 minutes into the game..

It still doesn't really hurt just throbs a bit although it hasn't stopped bleeding yet still getting the occasional drip of blood from my nose >.> Also my eyes are slightly puffed up and very slightly blackened. i've a picture of my self waiting in A&E with the broken nose but it turns out it violates Image shacks image policy some how :<

Man, I never broke anything. Sure, I put a spoon in an outlet and managed to get a two inches long splinter in my foot, but never broke anything.

However!

My cousin once cracked his head open in a pool. Dove in head-first, so yeah.

My brother broke his arm by falling off a bike at which point he entered Russia and the bike rode his arm. Also once sneezed and hit a kitchen sink with his forehead, but that didn't break anything, somehow. Still has the scar, though.

My dad nearly cut his thumb completely off with a circular saw one time. Another time he crashed while waterskiing at thirty five miles an hour and *supposedly* kicked himself in the back of the head. Doctor said he'd never seen anyone in that bad of shape without being paralyzed.
