[jackie j]

My eldest son who will be 30yrs old on May 1st has broken his nose Playing Roller Hockey they are also worried about his eye as the stick came across his nose into his eye they think he has a blood clot He is off to Egypt on the 2nd May and is hoping to go deep sea diving. Boys or rather men !!!

they will always be our boys,no matter what age they are lol, hope his eye will be ok.

Hope his eye is OK.

Broken nose adds to character - I broke mine in a car crash when I was 4 (a LONG time ago when they didn't fix them) and it hasn't harmed me.

Tell him he needs to do like I did and take up a safe sport - in my case motor racing ......

Kept telling him to wear a face mask thing lol wouldnt listen though would he.

[dogsbody]

Next time remind him "Mum know's best !!!"

Hope it turns out OK

He has just rung me to say he has to be back at the hospital for 9am tomorrow morning to see the eye dept and he will have to have an operation on his nose in the next week or so. He has a large dent in it. His face is swollen and he looks a mess he says. Early start for me then.

Hope he is ok.
At least he didn`t break his the way I broke mine last year. A juke box fell off a wall in a pub and smacked me right on the nose. I was emptying it at the time, it had been up for over 2 years and it just fell off the wall.

Fingers crossed for the morning Jackie, hope it's all ok. DD played inline roller hockey at Uni - she was the only girl and they were all at least twice her size. She survived unscathed, she did wear helmet/mask, but she did break an opponents nose. (Her own nose was broken several years before, playing basketball). Kids!

[jackie j]

Yeah they never grow up lol especially the boys.

A lad I work with play`s roller hockey, he`s always coming to work aching, but no broken bones yet. The office managers husband is the coach for the Leicester team and one of his son`s played for England the other year in Canada.

Ouch that'll be sore in the morning, hope he feels better soon, poor thing!

Hope all goes well for him at the hospital this morning

Upshot is he has to have an operation to repair his nose and more than likely have a metal plate fitted to hold it all together, as he has a cut across the bridge of his nose they will use this as the entry point. Hopefully this will be done this thursday if someone else is taken off the list which is very likely as the other person has other health issues that also need dealing with first.
He looks a right mess so much so that he doesnt want to see his son for a while in case it frightens him. Two lovely black eyes, a broken nose and lots of bruising to his face.
