mapsedgeI'm wondering if I broke my nose.
Back when we had the furnace and ductwork replaced, the workers removed a bit of floor joist from under the kitchen. Over time, that span of floor became more and more bouncy, until finally I checked and discovered the missing support.
Today I decided was the day to replace it. In trying to remove an obstruction, the hammer slipped, my hand - gripping the handle - flew back, and I punched myself squarely in the nose.
After bleeding into the sink for a little while, I put a new section of joist in. Then I laid down to let the pain ebb and the ibuprofen do its work. Now it's just a dull ache, like a sinus headache but much more specific. It's sensitive to the touch, but the structure seems to be no more deformed than before.
Hey...that's a thought...maybe I put my septum back where it belongs, without meaning to. That'd be a silver lining, right there.
