I think I've broken my face

[KingRichard]

Yesterday I sprinted out of the office to catch a visitor before he left - as I reached the door, my hand missed the handle but my brain decided not to make the connection...

Hand Miss = Door Not Open = STOP Running

My legs carried on and I smashed my face straight into the edge of the door. What with it being partly opened, I didn't hit it at an angle so I just stopped dead and remember being on the floor. Stunned.

Don't think I was knocked out but I can't remember falling

Anyway... I've ended up with a red line on my face running from my cheekbone to the bottom of my jaw, and it's mega sore. Just wondered if there were any pointers I could check for if I've broken any bones.

I know people say you know when you've broken a bone but I've never felt anything before that marked pain out as being 'broken bones' (admittedly only fingers, knuckles, ribs and oh yeah, a fractured jaw!).

Anyway, feel free to laugh at my misfortune

Ho yes.

PS. I think there's something about PHers having the memory of elephants.

Can't be arsed... last time I had a problem that I thought needed X-Ray it turned out to be a tendon. Don't want to sit in A&E for hours if it's just a bump.

Are you able to now eat mangos , without first cutting them into slices?

Sure, use the paper bag if necessary. Just cut holes so we can see the wounds.

Firstly, bad luck.

As I understand it you need to 'see through' the skin and stuff with an 'X-ray'.

I think they have them at your local A&E. In a hospital.


Edit: just read your reply to Soovy. Fair do's.

I was probably due for some payback to be honest

Y'know... lumps, wobbly bits that shouldn't be wobbly, hard bits that should be wobbly etc (fnarr)

Pics or GTFO.

Minor Injuries Unit, or A&E.

Not a motoring based forum. They'll only advise you to stick a V8 in it.

Too late to make the gag about the office getting you back

Reminds me of when my Dad ran full tilt into the boot lid of his Mondeo. I had to lie down I was laughing so hard. Glued his cut shut after though

Even better, quite apart from thinking you are a violent nutter, the hottie in the office down the hall now thinks you are a self harmer too. Go you KR. Any important meetings over the next few days, where you may need to explain the bruising on your face?
