Broken Nose

just make sure the nasal passage is open.

I made the mistake of waiting too long after I broke my nose to finally have it checked out. The Doc said there are a significant blockage and it needed corrected. Only problem was I waited a few weeks after the nose broke and it started to "heal."

They had to take a steel rod, shove it up my nose, (one up each nostral) and work them around to re-brake the nose. Once that was done (you could hear and feel each "pop" as bone by bone was broken) they re-set the nose, and I had to run around with a stupid cast on my face (because they basically shattered the nose to re-form it)... not fun seeing as how I didn't want surgery so they did it with novacane (sp)... what a crappy time that was!!!

I've been there, but at least I was out for the surgury. I hate it when they fix noses on Nip/Tuck.

For what it's worth, our nurse consultant who reviews all the medical records and coaches us up so we don't sound like total idiots in depositions took one look at it and said that it was broken. She also said that since I seem to be breathing ok and the bleeding seems to have stopped, there isn't anything a doctor would do for it. Even more interesting is that my wife couldn't tell that it was broken. That says a lot about my face and marriage. :biggrin:

After reading the article below, I'm just thankful your only asking about your nose.

Rugby fan cut off his own testicles
8 February 2005

A Welsh rugby fan cut off his own testicles after his team beat England, police confirmed today.

The man was rushed to hospital after the incident at Leigh Social Club in Caerphilly, South Wales.

A Gwent Police spokeswoman said: "We received a call from the ambulance service at approximately 9pm on the 5th to inform us of a situation at the Leigh Social Club in which a man had indeed severed his own testicles."

She said the man was taken to Heath Hospital but could not confirm his condition.


It was reported that the man told his friends: "If Wales win I'll cut my own balls off."

After the 11-9 victory in the Six Nations clash, the man is reported to have gone outside and severed his testicles before bringing them back into the club to show fellow drinkers. A local was reported as saying that the man was on medication and should not have been drinking.

They managed to correct the passage and bone structure. During the accident (skiing accident... don't ask) I also managed to bend the cartilage (sp?) of my nose. It isn't bad, unless you look for it, however my nose now points a little to the left. The only way to correct it, would be to go in, cut out the "bad/deformed" cartilage and put some new fake stuff in it's place.

I refuse to have plastic surgery done, so I'll live with a slightly crooked nose :wink2: ... just like I'll live with a slight scar (was bad when it first happened) when a car antenna went through my top lip, during a bike accident (cars win those battles if you were wondering :( )...

you cannot tell now, but my right cheek was much thinner than the left one... due to the fact they cut a big chunk of it out after a routine ground ball hit somthing that caused the ball to jump up at the last sec. and drill me in the cheek. My teeth wound up cutting the bulk of the inside cheek due to the impact of the ball. That was a real fun oral surgery at the rip old age of about ten or so. It has healed to the point that you cannot tell (unless you took measuring clamps to each cheek :tongue2: ).

The bike accident where I went over a cliff (small prob. not even a single story tall) accidently (lost the back end due to the wheel locking up while braking on a steep hill) and smashed my face into a tree trunk was a good one as well (broke the nose again on that one :( ). I could take my finger and put it inside my mouth and around the front jaw. The entire lower lip was ripped up and packed with dirt. I think it too several surgeries/cleanings to get all the junk out... thank goodness I had a concusion and knocked myself out during the accident. The bike ride home from nowhere Athens County while in shock and bloodied up was quite fun as well :sick1:

The bike accident where I was racing a buddy going a good 35-40 MPH down a hill, rode over an acorn and fell off the bike.... sliding down the pavement, where all my skin on my left shoulder was ripped off and replaced with chucks of black top was also a good one (still have a bit of a scar on that shoulder)... woke up after being knocked out with EMS folks putting some type of a stinging liquid on the shoulder... did manage to go on one of my first dates later that night. Talk about the Sympathy TLC I got out of that one :biggrin: ... to be in middle school again :bonk:

Then there are the different broken bone events... not gory enough to share any of those :tongue2: ...

I sent that to my wife earlier as her family comes from Wales. He probably just didn't want to get any sheep pregnant. :)

gbear - Wow, where to begin... Never mind, carry on.
