Broken Nose
 

Playing around at the gym this am and got kicked on my nose...really soft kick, full gear and somehow managed to break my nose. One of the guys at my gym is an ER doctor and good buddy reset it for me. Will have to go in I supposed to get some X-rays but outside of tenderness and the beginning of some darkening in my left eye, it looks to be ok?

Any experience in here? A couple of weeks of dark eyes? I work in a professional setting, have meetings this afternoon and showing up like I've been brawling isn't going to go well.

Make up?

Mine usually came with a black eye and swelling. Sometimes two black eyes. Depends on how bad it is...I needed surgery once. They have to break it all over again if that s the case...and you will definitely get swelling, two black eyes, and about 20 feet of gauze packed into your sinuses

Wear the black eye with pride...it will help at work. Be vague about how you got it. Everyone loves a bad ass.

You and your friends should remove your shoes first, that way no ouchies.

Never had mine broken but my brother and my dad both had serious nose breaks. I'm pretty sure that the doctor just sets it straight, (OUCH), and there is a lot of bruising and swelling till it heals up.

I'm with Fint on the "wear it with pride" deal. My brother's came from the rifle butt of a cop in a very corrupt regime part of the world while he was pleading for the release of a hostage. :cool:

Just go out and buy some large frame sunglasses and wear them in the office. Who knows, maybe you'll start a trend.

no more than usual.

I was at my friend's Karate studio last night watching people spar, (American TKD), man those feet were flying. Including some really small girls who could knock all of your teeth out if a kick landed right/wrong. :)

The first rule of fight club is....

Well, its no bleeding anymore and I'm heading into the world...nose is purple, looks straight. Both eyes are now showing darkness.

I like the sunglasses idea but is cloudy and no sun for the next 4 or 5 days. I've never been hurt from a hard blow...always just a tap, broken ribs, broken wrist, dislocated fingers, torn ligaments, all from taps.

I feel foolish and I'm trying to replay what happened and I think that I actually turned into the kick. The kid that kicked me has a Mao Thai boxing background and lightning fast. Oh well, here is to getting older and not being able to get out of the way.

Tell everyone you can't talk about fight club.

Just tell them that the underwriter got it worse, and you managed to get the best deal for your client.

You can't really tell if it is straight until the swelling goes down. Mine is quite crooked despite having a plastic surgeon "fix" it the worst break. It wasn't worth it to me to have him smash it again to fix it. Especially since I already had some scars across the lower part where they sewed it back on from a previous "accident". It is not really obviously crooked except in photos where you reduce the observable dimensions.

I would not worry too much about it if it looks reasonably straight. It is just a nose. Mine has been modified too and it adds character.

You aren't going to cover this one up at work. Just face the music. If anyone asks (everyone will!), tell them your wife hit you and keep repeating and tell them "don't ask" until they aren't sure if you are serious or not.

I went hunting one night many years ago, mid-week, leaving work early with an excuse. Exciting wild boar hunt, taking running shots with a high powered rifle, got some scope burn in the process. Next day everyone at work kept asking what happened ... the wife story diffused things nicely. :)

Yeah I got one while playing intramural football while in Vet school; bled like crazy for a few minutes, then a couple of nice shiners. I came into class the next morning and a couple of the guys who had been playing in the same game gave me an ovation. Everybody else just went WTF?

Tell everybody that after that last bout, you're done with fighting in the UFC. :D

My wife tripped on the sidewalk a few weeks ago falling and broke her nose. Went to the ER had a CAT scan and it was a break with no displacement. Her eyes never got black and blue, just swelling of the nose.

All I know is I sunk $20 k into her mouth last year, thank G_D it wasn't her teeth.

I had my nose broken while playing basketball. Damn that hurt. My nose was a little crooked after that.

Think about following up with a nose doc in about 2 weeks, just to be sure. Good Luck

Otorhinolaryngologist.

Sorry, I just had to type that word because I love it so much.

like you.. my Lady competes in the sport..
she often sports black & blue marks..
she's proud...
but I tend to get that look...

I have had mine broken 5 times...not fun. Twice by an elbow under the boards playing basketball, twice playing soccer - once by a kick and once by a hand, and once I was in a pickle during a baseball game, faked one way and turned to catch the ball in the shnozz.

never got hit in the face when I boxed.

yup, hurts bad.

When asked......the two appropriate responses are (depending on who's asking) :

1) "I'm not at liberty to say." (wink)

2) "Jealous lover." (shrug)

You not only need to know when to duck, you also need to know when not to duck.
Two weeks is about right for a black eye.

Just tell them it was a little mishap at the gym where your nose met a foot and you don't care to elaborate. Had my nose broken (I think) in a football game, when I turned too late catch a bullet pass and got it directly in the nose. My parents never took me to a doctor when I got an injury. My nose swelled up & both eyes turned black. Since then I've had a deviated septum.

last month he was Donald Trump now he's Bruce Leroy. Hope you yelled aat that girl's parent for raising such a hard-hitting monster.

C'mon, tell us how it really happened.........

Lots of double takes but no one asked how it happened. Anyhow, it hurts like crazy, will go into an urgent care tomorrow since my own doctor can't take me until Tuesday. I honestly can't get over on how much it hurts, it's been basically throbbing for 4 or 5 hours.

maybe someone kicked obaama in the but.

He didn't hold back, just blasted you cuz you're a punk. Probably wound up and telegraphed, TO THE HEAD, and you STILL got hit, warning and all.

LOL.

Now he's PMing me threatening to beat me up. Oooh!

Hugo, check your PM buddy. When you find someone to stand in, I'm here.

Got kicked in the face tackling a college football player during a mud football game. That hurt something fierce. I was at summer camp at the time and would't you know it, the camp doctor had his day off and was playing golf. Shoved paper towels up my nostrils to stop the bleeding until he came back - pre-cell phone, so I was in pain for a few hours.

The top/front of the human skull is strong and will break even heavy fists and feet.
The instincts within you are ingrained for a purpose.


(Edit: If hugo is randy....let it go man. Seriously.)

Bygone and Randy don't know when to quit, I've offered to meet with him if he wishes. I travel through AZ and it would be a fun work out. I've asked for contact info, let's see if he steps up or he's just another punk behind a computer.

I didn't start this but would be happy to end it. tired of these two imbeciles.

You got your answer. You go first. Let's see if you deliver.

Otherwise, STFU.

PS- you didn't expect me to reply to your challenge, did you?

LOL, just as I though another internet warrior.

Bye bye.

LOL I asked for your name, and this is what I get? I'll do it, and some here actually know me. You coward, can't even post your name?

Ok dude, whatever.

PS I did push the button on ya, bye bye peasant. Should've proven your case first.

Jeebus! Go to your rooms! No dinner for you!

I think it's funny as hell. Next week he'll claim to be the biggest MJ grower on the west coast, and he's from jamaica. Maybe even a man from Mars.

Who knows?

rjp

Who cares?
As along as the argument is factual and correct...

Hey Rusty, just wanted to let you know my posts are in fun. Dragging any animosity from the PARF side into OT is out of bounds, I hardly venture there anyways.

Hope you feel better and heal fast. And you guys with a grudge, what is this, 4th grade? Just challenge him to a fight by the bicycle racks after school. It really makes you look pathetic, no matter where you stand on political issues.

Good that your bud, the ER doc, was there. Even if he didn't see it happen, I'm sure you were glad to have someone of his capabilities there to check you out and evaluate the likelihood of a concussion... I'm assuming he did more than just reset it... maybe asked you what day it was, etc.

If you end up looking like a raccoon, just nab some lightly tinted sunglasses to wear at work... and post a selfie with one hand reaching toward the camera with that REALLY REALLY WANT meme on it like the one with the raccoon we've all seen many times.

Hope it goes well. Benadryl might be your friend.

It does matter- why do you think it's OK to be dishonest on any account?
