Feeling Left Out
I guess I must have been feeling left out lately since everyone else at our home has been getting injured so much. So what did I do yesterday? I went and broke my nose. Yep it really is the most dumb way anyone could have done it.
I was outside pulling off some ugly fabric from some chairs I had just found at a yard sale and came in and was standing by the table talking to Carlos. I didn't hear one of my kids ( who shall remain nameless) come in and open the door. I turned to head out the door to go work on the chairs again and SMACK! I hit the door hard. It had been left open and I didn't know it had been. I knew I broke it immediately because I heard it crunch. Even Carlos heard it and he was sitting on the other side of the kitchen. So I grabbed the only frozen thing I could find at the time which was a bag of frozen veggies and I put it on my nose. It started bruising right away.
Carlos took me to the Instacare and they didn't even bother to xray it. He told me could already feel the break in it. Luckily it had already straightened out so they sent me on my way and told me to do lots of ice and Motrin and that I would basically have to let it heal on it's own. He didn't want to tape it because it was already straight and he thought taping it might move it out of line.
It hurt really bad but I can't even explain how bad it hurts today. The worst part is I am fighting a horrible cold right now. My nose is pouring all day and blowing it is misery but I have to because I can't breathe out of my chest very well right now.Ugh! Even coughing makes it hurt. I have always hated my nose and used to joke that I wish I could break it so I could have it fixed the way I want it. Well I guess I was successful in breaking it. Just not at breaking it good enough to get a new nose. Dang!

Kari I'm so sorry! That must hurt terribly. Good luck with the ice, and I hope it heals well! How long do they think it will take?
Oh Boy! When it rains it pours! I love how Diego is so concerned. What a cutie. Get feeling better. Now you have the nose job that you wanted. :)
Ouch! So sorry. I can't believe you have always hated your nose! You have a perfectly normal nose!! Maybe I could find a way to "break" my boobs and get a boob job...hmmmm:)
