17 Mo old Breaks Grandmother's Nose

Yeah. Either that, or the worst bruise in the world.

Jonny and I were cuddling Friday evening, and he suddenly turned over and whacked me with the back of his head. HARD. I felt and heard the crack of the cartilage breaking away from the bone right where the two meet. Weirdest sound from the inside. Thankfully, our roommate was here and grabbed one of my instant ice packs (once I told her where it was) and brought it to me. She took Jonny and I sat there icing my nose for the next half hour, dealing with my eyes tearing, even though I wasn't crying.

I let Diana know by text message (she was at work at the time) once I was able to, and she asked if I was going to the E.R. I told her no, since the fracture wasn't displaced (my nose still looks like its usual self), they wouldn't be able to do anything except refresh my ice pack. And take $50 from me.

I have some bruising, although it is hard to spot. Thankfully.
