I Broke My Nose!

[ProudGrammy 8,322]

but my sleeve helped break my falllll

kidding about the help from the sleeve!!!!

butttttt - i did break my poor nosey

2 weeks ago i was at a luncheon at my 83 year old mom's retirement home

i got up and tripped over the bottom leg/part of her walker!!!!

i fell against the table, hitting my head briefly - but i went smack, straight down landing on my nose and knees!!!

losing my 105 lbs/goal this time didn't help break my fall

ouch!!!

its amazing how much blood comes out of your nose forever!!!!unbelieveable

my mom was all panicked

there were about 125 people around!!! OMG

to add insult to injury.........

the nurse helping me asked if i lived there!!!

Lord help me!!!!

DH came to my rescue in about 1/2 an hour - and against my will, we went to the ER

CT scan showed that it was broken!!!!

duhhhh ya think??

saw ENT next day - i had in and out surgery the other day (thursday)

the surgery itself took about 10 minutes

but i was under general anesthia

i have a big splint/cast on my nose

(not good at posting pics, but i'll try later)

nose feels like a ton of bricks

i can't blow my nose!!!!!

i have decided not to hide in the house - so i am doing errands with hubby today

i can't drive because i wear glasses, and i can't see the nose in front of my face!!!!!

that was an unintential good one!!!

soooooo, guess this shook up my otherwise boring - but wonderful life

thought i would share my slory to my fellow buds in sleeveland (and any other wonderful WLS people)

going out now

I still do look as cute as a button

Wow, and you thought sneezing after the sleeve was bad.......

You could always tell people that your cocaine habit got outa hand......

If you have trouble maintaining your goal weight, I nose where there are a few extra pounds you can lose....

Now would be the time to enter a 5k.......you'd be sure to win by a nose......

I know they're lame.....but get used to it........I actually feel sorry for your Hubby.....He's the one that's gonna catch the flak for it.

Seriously, I hope you get better soon.

After my knee replacement, my ortho told me to be careful because falling would be bad....very bad. I was worried about my knees and had not even thought about my nose. I hope you get well soon.

I had rhino and septoplasty few years back.

Breathing thru mouth, no taste to anything, generally felt like I had a head stuffed full of cotton

And then 3 day po - I sneezed I thought my brain came outta my head.

Taking the packing out of my nose was no laughing matter either

I think the worst part was going out and having people look at me like I was an abused wife or something.

And I looked that way for about a month

too funny guy

especially the one about winning by a nose!!!!

as far as DH is concered - he is self-conscious - even if he's not with me

one look at me - and people do possibly have "interesting" imaginations/thoughts

some people are soooo nosey!!!!

appreciate the well wishes

congrats on your great weight loss

@@Miss Mac

ya think!!!

i have 2 knee replacements!!!!

the one knee did turn black and blue the next day and hurt

but i'm pretty sure the replacement is made out of some special metal

great weight loss!!!

I see you are about to enter the century club

holding the door open for you
