It's all fun and games, until someone breaks a nose...

My summer started off with a bang, let me tell you. I went out boating for the first time this season, and ended up looking like this:



Tubing is dangerous. If you don't believe me, just take another look at that picture above. Yep. That's me. And my swollen face, the result of a broken nose and a fractured cheek.

I found out yesterday, at yet another doctor appointment, that this bump on the side of my nose (that appeared once all of the swelling FINALLY went down) is my bone. Yep, it's protruding enough that I have a physical deformity on my nose. What's even better is that I have to have surgery to correct it. Plastic surgery, ie: a nose job! As if this summer wasn't already sucky enough? Good grief!

Just for fun, here are the pictures that my cousin took right after they pulled me back into the boat.




So, the moral of the story is this. Tubing is dangerous. And if I was you, I'd decline the invitation at all costs. From now on, when I am at the lake, I will be the girl perfectly content sitting/riding on a boat with an adult beverage in my hand.
