So, my nose is broken afterall, according to the ENT. She said neither the break nor the deviated septum are bad enough to warrant surgery at this point. In a couple months, if I'm still having a lot of pain or sinus problems, then she can re-evaluate.

I now have an excruitiating "exercise" I'm supposed to perform several times throughout the day. It consists of applying firm pressure to the break point for 30-40 seconds at a time. The sound and the pain associated with this procedure make my stomach queasy. But, Dr. B says that this will help reduce the crook in my nose as it heals.

I'm still feeling a lot of hate for Green Belt Norman Bates. There was a chance that he was going to show up at our school last night. He never did, at least while I was there. I'd really enjoy seeing one of the black belts get a hold of him at sparring. But I'm thinking it's unlikely that this will ever happen now. If GBNB didn't show up at the school this week to train, it probably means he has a conscience afterall and has decided this isn't a school he should train at.

I'm so very torn, part of me never wants to see that rat-bastard ever again...part of me wants to give him "nutters" repeatedly. The dark side can't be that bad, can it?
