on the mend

officially, tim's nose was broken. those trees that don't move will get you every time. see the picture in the previous post for the "before the re-set" nose. last tuesday tim went back into the hospital, after the swelling had subsided significantly enough for us to be able to see that yes, it was crooked. the xray they took at the hospital was such low quality (think of those profile silhouettes we all did in art class in elementary school where your shadow was traced on the wall...) that they couldn't tell if it was broken or not...so the doctor requested that i email him "before" pics of tim's face...and from these pictures he determined that it was in fact broken. ahh, the art of medicine (and email).

a bright orange band-aid with little cartoon fish on it was the only band-aid the doctor could find in the hospital. the "re-set" went well, with minor bruising and a really great story...i'll spare the details.
