re: #507 wrenchwench

You know what? You’re right. I was rude and a little pissed off when I dropped the “homogeneous circle jerk” term on the thread. Sorry about that. (I’ve been wanting to use it for awhile ;) Anyway, I had spent 5 hours at the Emergency Room Saturday night and had some insight on how the injury sets up. My son, who had been in an ATV that rolled, had called me right afterwards and we had driven him to the ER ourselves. He had a headache and some blurred vision in that eye, but he was functioning. Once he blew his nose, however, and the left side of his face inflated like a balloon, they did a CT and found the fracture.

I have no idea if Wilson had the same fracture (or any fracture). I was just trying to shed more light on what an orbital blowout was like.

So, sorry about the comment.
