AHahahahahah-OW!

Apparently I have a broken nose, which they missed when they originally checked me, owing to the fact that my neck was their main concern. The doctor is very amused by the fact that, despite this, I STILL do not have much in the way of bruising on my face, though my eye and cheek are a bit puffy. I am amused by the new shape of my nose, which will apparently be permanent, bar the reduction of some swelling in the upper bridge as it heals.

Only when I chew, or talk, or breath, or bend over (increased blood flow), or change my facial expression, or move my head, or lay down, or walk into a strong breeze. Or touch my nose. XD Other than that, it doesn't hurt at all. ^_~

Really though, it's painful, but not anywhere near some of the stuff I've gone through. And it's kinda eclipsed by watching a guy die last night in the trauma room, spraying blood all over the place, with a saucer-sized hole in his chest from a shotgun. After that, a broken nose seems...pretty inconsequential.

Oh shit, woman! You are one of the toughest most resilient people I've ever met. I kinda like the sound of your new nose, but that's a sucky way to get a nose job. *hugs*

**chuckle** No, the old lady a while back who said her pain was a "4, on a scale of 1-10" while I put pressure on the four inches of tibia sticking out of her leg, to stem the arterial bleed, she was tough and resilient. I just have a very thick skull. And perhaps a mild masochistic streak, considering how much I'm amused by talking to people about my injuries.

Okay, I'm running out of sufficient rude expletives on that one, plus the shotgun death. Krikeys.
