Sam might have one.:eek: It's a little crooked but it could be the swelling. She can't breathe through it either. We had an AmazingRace night at church tonight and she took a hard elbow during one of the challenges. Poor thing even finished the obstacle course and the rest of the race for the sake of the team. She's pretty accident prone (remember those smashed fingers a couple years ago?) so I was playing it off ...didn't really think it was that serious. We got back to church and I had a nurse look at it. She recommended ice on and off every 20 min w/ibuprofen.
She was and still is in pain and she thinks it is broken. From what I've read, unless it's seriously displaced, nothing can be done until the swelling goes down. Anyone else have broken nose experience?

I drove a team of 6 for the race. It was so funn! We had 8 clues that took us all over our side of town...running into the mall to buy a certain candy, going to burger king for a toy, Tim Horton's for coffee, a fitness center for the obstacle course, and driving range where you had to hit at least 50 yards. The last challenge was stomping grapes and then drinking the juice.:shock::lol: We came in 3rd out of 8 teams so we didn't have to do that last challenge thank goodness. Although I'm sure someone would have done it! All in all a funn night except for the injury.:sosad:

Gosh,I don't know anything about broken noses (thankfully) are you taking her for an xray in the morning?
I'd love some more info about the Amazing race though (I'm always looking for something for our youth or kids at church)

OUCH! Yes, had this happen to me once. You can't tell if it's broken or fractured until the swelling goes down. Ice, keep elevated, and tylenol. Mine just ended up badly bruised for a while.

Sorry her Amazing Race ended up an episode of Survivor. :sosad:

:eek:...all I can think about is the Brady Bunch and Marcia getting hit in the nose with the football! OUCH! I'll hope for a good outcome for Sam!
 
I've broken mine twice, both times playing piggy back (no nasty jokes, please :lol:). Both times it bled like crazy, and both times they iced it, but I didn't have any bandages. Oh, and both eyes got black. I also experienced bad breath until it healed.

So sorry for Sam.:sosad: I know that must be very embarrassing for someone her age.
