Was Friday Night Group Chat/now Nose

[Guest guest]

Hey Eva,

 

There was no previous thread on this... I did mention it to Chris earlier

today but that was pretty much it (and one other).

 

Last night my Hunny Bunny was sitting on me exchanging insults with his

elder brother and threw his head on me, hit me fake tooth and me nose at

the same time. Tooth hurt so bad I didn't notice the nose. In other words,

no blood gushing, no giant crack... but this morning it was VERY painful

and swollen. I have two lumps on me nose. IF it is indeed broken it's just

a hairline fracture. Right now it looks crooked due to the swelling. Once

that goes down I will AT THE MOST have an interesting bump on my nose. It's

one of those things that are painful but not worth going to bother the

doctors about. Ain't a whole lot they can do about it anyway.

 

So I'm putting a warm woobey on it (YES< YES! I know it's supposed to be

cold for the swelling, but I HATE cold and warm eases the pain. If it

starts swelling again, then I'll have to stop, but for now... lovely lovely

heat... remind me, another use for a woobey! ROFLMAO!), it eases the

headache that the pain has engendered (small headache, not worth taking

anything for) and feels comforting.

 

I can't wear me glasses though, hurts too much.

 

I always KNEW one of these kids were going to break that nose. Small

children lead with their heads and one always gets battered by them when

they are small, Hunny bunny finally did what the other three could't do.

ROFLMAO!

 

I have some Green Gloop that Christa Maria sent me a while back for the

kids, I swiped a bit of it. Doesn't smell half bad either. Thanks CM. For

the rest, it's just the Woobey. I'm a minimalist I guess.

 

And that's the story of the Schnoze. Just another in a list of war wounds

in the battlefield of parenting! ROFLMAO!

 

Cheers!

Yikes, Queenie...

Those kids will get the better of you yet...

In Germany when someone breaks a nose, the first thing is that someone

yells for two large knives.

That would scare your kids..

But the flatbladed large knives, with their FLAT side , of course!,

shapes the nose back and the steel takes out the heat, acting like ice..

When my son was just 6 month old, he fell off the changing table. I was

petrified,his face looked smooshed in and I called my best friend , also

German who was a baby nurse. She came running into the house telling my

husband to get out two large knifes with large blades. ( My husband

wasn't so sure she wasn't about to kill me ). But she took those knives

and shaped his face back. NO black bruise, no swelling....

BUT, this has do be done immediately. Nose is mainly cartilage and when

working on it right away with ice can be set OK.

A broken nose can spell breathing problems for later life, please

Kathleen, do not ignore this...

WOW, that is an interesting story for sure. I would have bee petrified

as well! It is a reminder that there are things better than modern

medicine, as this technique seems relatively painless and is a lot

less annoying than those nose splints we put on folks now.

Kathleen, Christa Maria is so right about the breathing issues too. I

have known many friends over the years who are plagued by the after

effects of broken noses, not the least of which is a snoring problem

that won't quit.

Take care and I am sorry about your mishap. Luckily, your tooth did

not get knocked out as well!!
