I know my nose isn't broken, and it doesn't even look like anything happened to it, but having a sore nose really affects me. I'm always consciously aware of the fact that my nose is extremely sensitive right now, and the pain causes my head to throb lightly all the time. I'm surprised I'm not more bruised than I am.
This morning I had some difficulty breathing through my nose, but in the shower I snorted out a dense pill-shaped mass of clotted blood and snot. I'm breathing much more clearly now.
Man, but my nose is just making my head throb! All the discomfort emanates from my sinuses. I'm not sparring for at least another week and a half.
That last match was quite fun, though. I was stalking Sean around the ring trying hard to get in close, and he was evading constantly which was his nod to me that I can hit with some power, and that he didn't want to get into my kind of fight. Damn his uppercut! Fuck, I was starting to get to him, too, until he bloodied my nose! Don't get me wrong, though, if we were scoring the match I was well behind him, he scored much more cleanly than I did, but my body shots were definitely slowing him down.
