Friday night started out relatively boring, mainly due to the fact that my wife took me to her brother's high school cheerleading exhibition. I myself would never bother choose to be a male cheerleader, but my wife and I support her brother, Joel, in his endeavors. The exhibition played out as normal, a few cheer routines from the cheer squad, a couple of risque sexual-themed dances from the drill teams. You know, the usual. But at the end of the last routine where Joel was catching one of the flyer girls, he got nailed in the face by the girl's elbow as she came down. His head was knocked back violently but he played it cool by cupping his nose and causally walking off the mat. But I knew something was up, judging by the impact. My wife and I jogged over to him and saw that his cupped hands were filled to the brim with blood and his nose was gushing blood from both inside and out. After cleaning up the mess and stemming the blood flow as much as possible, we went back to his house for a checking with his parents, then off to the hospital. When the X-ray came back, the doctor stated that "this the the most broken nose I have ever seen!" His nose bone was completely sheered off and pushed back a good amount. This was quite interesting, and after the swelling started to increase he looked like Lord Voldemort. We all got a good laugh at that. The break was so bad that the doctor dared not set it and referred him to a specialist, who he will see on Monday. Exciting night!
