I Ran into a Door; is my Nose Broken? (photo)

July 8, 2013

Normally I keep my bedroom door closed at night, but my dog nudged it open tonight. When I got up to use the restroom, instead of opening my door I ran head first into the edge. There was a popping sound, and it is bruised and swollen along the bridge. There was no blood, but it is sensitive to the touch and i now have a headache. I apologize for the picture quality; that was the best I could do at 4am.
