Have you ever been doing something fun then all of a sudden an accident occurs you hear the crunch and no immediately you broke something? Well, that was Saturday night for me. We were at a Christmas party with the kids. We were in the middle of playing a dice game for Christmas gifts and my sweet little girl came up to me while I was in the middle of playing. I was sitting on the couch while she walked over into my arms. She started bouncing and CRUNCH! Oh the sound! The pain! I knew immediately I had broken my nose. I do not think I will ever forget... But just in case I have it here now as a reminder :)
She knocked me out. I remember feeling light headed and seeing spots as I lay on the couch. I do not even remember who I was sitting by... I heard voices around me. They were still playing I knew that, but I do not remember much else. I was dizzy and my nose and head hurt like nothing ever before. I think everyone felt sorry for me so they did not "steal" my gift. It was a movie card so I am sure had that not happened it would have been stolen :)
I got up and looked in the mirror. My nose had started to swell on one side and started to bruise around my eye. The headaches started right away and for the next couple of days I was taking medicine, but it just did not seem to reach my headache. My nose ached too. Especially when I tried reading at night with my glasses on. Finally I was free enough to go to the Dr. and they confirmed I broke my nose... Now to keep the kids away from my nose for the next few weeks while it heals. Oh yeah, he gave me some Vicodin... To bad I can only take it when Scott is home. Is it 6:00 yet!?!
My first broken bone... At least it was my daughter's head that connected with my nose and not someone else's child, right?
