Go, me?

So. What happens when you clock yourself in the face (or, more specifically, the nose), with a 40 pound case of formula gift bags?

Well...you won't need botox for a while, and the underside of your upper lip will turn a nifty purple black color.
You get to take a nice, three hour vacation in ER land, with a nifty side-stop at the CATscan room.
Your nose will drool blood.
And smiling isn't the most pleasant sensation in the world, at least where the upper middle portion of your mouth is concerned.

Oh, and you can't go back to work until a regular doctor confirms that you haven't developed any unseen week spots that will turn into an anyurism when you lift something thanks to bloodpressure doing what it does when you lift heavy things.

Wheeeeeee!

Pic later. Maybe. ^^;

(I didn't break anything, BTW. So at least there's that. :) Smiling really does hurt right now, though).

O_O

Hope everything is okay over there!

Thanks. ^^

I'm pretty much okay other than the bruising and feeling like an idiot for tripping into a falling box rather than managing to back away from it like I meant to do. :) Heck, they let me drive myself home and stuff, so it can't be too bad. My nose isn't even bent up or anything, so I got out of it on pretty easy terms.

The worst part is getting to a doctor at this point; I can't go back to work until I'm released by one, and I have to wait for my job's representative to make the arrangements for me and tell me where to go. I feel bad because my co-workers are going to have to take up the slack until then. :/

Ish!

This is me, wincing so you don't have to. Sounds like the kind of thing we both used to do to ourselves when we were young and invulnerable.

Hope it heals up quickly and well, and that you don't get sidelined for TOO long.

*hugs* Thanks. The visible damage seems to be limited mostly to my upper lip, both in and outside, and the pain is pretty localized, so I suspect I'll be fine. :)

You know what's sad? Right after I'd clocked myself and was sitting on the floor waiting for the supervisor, I had my hand cupped under my nose to catch the blood...and I was comparing notes to how much was in my hand compared to how much we used to watch our favorite anime guys lose. And for a second, I was pretty sure I had at least one of them beat.

Lol! But did you dig a groove in the marble flooring with your schnozz, that's what I wanna know!

[silverthorne.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately, no. For all the abuse it took, my nose stayed aloft. Alas, no hero points for me on that count.

I'll have to check when I get back into work and see if my landing knee managed one, though. :D

Omg! Ow! Glad to hear that you are okay, albeit some colorful bruising.

[silverthorne.livejournal.com]

:) TY *hugs*

Yes, it's pretty colorful on the inside of my lip right now. XD The outside is scraped up; when I first had a chance to look at my face, I tried to wash it off because I thought it was dried blood. Nope.

...It's been an interesting day, all told. *cough*

Ow.

Indigo Ray says please heal rapidly.

Ow.

Sympathy ow.

[silverthorne.livejournal.com]

TY. *hugs*

Well, my lesson for the day is to never try to catch a box with your face; it doesn't work very well. ;)
