Oh boy.........

Last night I left the school around 8pm and left my daughter there. Well she calls me at about 8:30 and says I have to get up there right away because a teen student broke his nose and he’s bleeding all over the place.

Ok, so I get there just as his mom is arriving to pick him up. Now he is pretty tough and not freaking out at the site of his crooked nose and blood soaked top… (Looked pretty funny really and I laughed at him a little). His mom on the other hand was not as humored as I… and insisted on calling an ambulance… WHAT, that’s right and ambulance for a broken nose. She calls them and a fire truck and ambulance arrive

So now I’m trying to talk mom out of an ambulance ride to the hospital and saying, look what a young man you are raising, he is in complete control, it’s not that bad, I’ve had a broken nose… Well that didn’t work either. I was ready to try and put the nose back in place myself, but she wouldn’t let me. Finally a voice of reason arrives… his dad. Now I’ve known this family for like 10 years, that’s how long this kid has been with me and dad talks to mom. She gets pissed off and leaves and dad takes son to hospital.

Got a message on my phone that all is well, but I’ll wait till I talk to them today before making that determination.

How did it happen, from what I heard, he tried to block an elbow with his face. lol

I put mine back, when it got broke. Didn't hurt really. I think the shock of the injury is the issue & not having it happen before, you overeact. Still worth getting it checked at A&E, just ask our Mr Grannon, with sinovial fluid all over his chin.

To be honest, I found the concussion afterwards more worrying never having been conscious before after serious injury to the head to know what to expect. All the stuff they say applies, nausea, headache, confusion, and drops in blood pressure. For me, I had the pleasure of feeling an approaching blackout whilst having a pee. I could feel it coming on but couldnt stop & sit down, just finished and I can remember the sense of relief & then falling. Come to about 10 sec's later on the bathroom floor. Crawled into bed feeling sick as a dog.

That was midnight, I got it broke at 6.30 in the evening. Take concussion seriously. Don't drive after a head injury

No. Bitch of a MidWife didnt even offer me the scissors.

I didn't fix it. I just pushed it back into shape & then asked the guy who hit me if it looked alright. He said "Yeah" and then i checked it with the mirror at home later, really hard to resist fiddling with it after, kept wanting to move it about.

Sorry Roadkill, you make me feel like a hypochrodriac now for getting it checked.

But i agree with Sharif, get a head injury looked at. Killed Natasha Richardson.

And has Ritchie never mentioned his palm experience with Bob, bad wording there, I fear.

Thanks for that, made my morning... I was laughing out loud man...
