Guest guest Posted October 24, 2002 Report Share Posted October 24, 2002 Hi all. Does anyone out there have some sort of protective plastic bubble device for me to borrow? I'm a danger to myself and need to be put away somewhere. Was up late into the night researching and writing a paper for school when I remembered that I had to bake brownies for a friend of mines birthday. I was reaching into the cabinet to get the " Birthday Platter " that I have to put the brownies on and apparently, there was a smaller dish on top of it that I didn't know about. As I'm not overly tall, I was standing on my toes and reaching up high and tilted the platter, well, the smaller plate came flying out like a frisbee and hit me right at the top part of my nose diagonally across my face under my right eye. Well, now sporting a black eye and a broken nose that may require an open reduction to fix. Was never overly thrilled with my nose anyway. Not too big, just not great. But kind of attached and used to it just the same. The doc needs the swelling to go down in a few days to see what we're going to do. High tolerence for pain or no high tolerence for pain, I have to tell you, my God that really #*#*&%@)*#& hurt. (Pardon my sign language). Waiting for the doc to call me back because I've had three nose bleeds today, which apparently is not normal. Told me that I shouldn't be having them. Told him to hold on while I put the phone to my nose so he can tell it directly because it doesn't seem to be listening to me. (my nose must think it's one of my kids, husband or dog) The doc thinks I'm out of my mind, but did prescribe some good pain meds. Also, found out that even though I've doubled up on my iron and my hemoglobin was back in the normal range, apparently it has dropped down to 10.5 again. So now have to go in for more iron studies. Have been on antibiotics three times in the past month or so for chronic tonsillitis. Could the antibiotics do something with the iron? I may be reaching here, but need to grab onto something. I'm an Aquarian. Are my stars or moon not in line with eachother lately? Have I run out of water or something? I try to be a good person. We're all just walking around in awe at yet another chapter in this crazy book of my life. I think Quentin Tarrantino could have a field day making a movie about me just over the past three years. Oh hell, who am I kidding, the past three months alone would give him plenty of material. EEEEK. Any suggestions on exorcisms, tribal rituals, voo doo dolls, etc. would be appreciated. Well, needless to say, the brownies were a hit (no pun intended) and very much appreciated. Just happened to have made them for my friend who is an ENT. He took a look at my nose and face and sent me over to my plastic surgeon. Gotta love it. Well, going to go work on my paper for school and told my husband to order out. I'm staying out of the kitchen for awhile. : ) Hope everyone else is doing well. Regina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
