Here is the nose, one week after that knife fight I got into with a female, Mexican biker gang. It is looking much improved from how it did last Friday morning:
I’ve been keeping it coated in Polysporin and covered away from the sun. I think there will be a faint scar at first that will fade over the next few months. Nothing to cry over.

I also wanted to thank everyone who voted for me in the Blindy Awards hosted by Blog Indiana. I won best Hoosier Blog! Woot! Sadly, I was in transit to my 5K when the awards were announced and was not able to leap up and down and rub my victory in the losers’ faces, which is probably for the best.
Congrats on winning the Best Hoosier Blog. Actually you’re in the running for best blog around! Your scar is healing great! Be sure to keep sunscreen on it (and surrounding face) when you’re outside.
Congrats on the award, and don’t fret about the scar: it makes you look tough.
Congrats, winning is always fun :)
The scar is healing well, I’m sure in no time there will be nothing there.
Try Mederma for the scar. It really worked for me. Good luck!
Congrats on the award! Use that Mederma – I promise it will make a huge difference!
You are too funny. I bet the other chicks ended up looking far worse than you. ;-)
Congrats on your award! Great news and well deserved (even if I don’t know if I’ve other read any other Hoosier blogs LOL).

The scar is healing up nicely. Don’t forget that you’ll have to protect that area from sun damage for quite a while (the scarring is fragile, and could tan unevenly). Wear sunscreen every day (there’s a good one I use called “Daylong Actinica” by Spirig… it’s expensive, but lasts 12 hours and works as a moisturizer as well).
Congratulations on winning the best Hoosier Blog award. You deserve it.
Why’d you have to call it a “Mexican” biker gang? Just curious…
@Liz – Because I’m a racist bitch who hates Mexicans, duh.
Congratulations on your victory. And the scar won’t even be visible in another month. You need to stay out of those biker bars too…LOL
Congrats on winning, and your nose is looking much better – you must heal quickly. :) Have a great weekend, and be careful around those knives…
@PastaQueen – lol
The nose and your blog are both looking good.
Hey, some basic vitamin e cream on the scar will work wonders. Congrats on your win!
So I was thinking that the 5k had to have been the same day as BlogIndiana, but kept thinking there was no way you’d get to KY in time, but you did. In that heat. DAMN. Congrats on the award (and so glad I’m in the know), surviving the 5k AND the healed war wound.
I love the title of this post – I just came to your blog through http://www.johnisfit.com and got a bit of a shock, wanted to read on. Just to discover that you got into a fight with your cat LOL :) I really like your writing style and will check back more often!
Congrats on your weight loss, it is awesome how much you have lost and how good you look!!!
that wound is healing nicely. scary how close it got to your eye.
Congrats on the award! Sorry about the scare. That’s crazy that you got into a knife fight. I’m just glad it wasn’t anything else that would be more severe!
PQ, just wanted to throw this out. I normally don’t share advice, but, I can’t help myself right now. Try vitamin E on your nose. Not the vitamin E stuff that comes in bottles (it is always diluted with other oils) but buy vitamin E capsules, pierce them (I use a pin like you would for sewing) and put that right on your wound. For me, when I do that, I DO NOT SCAR. Ever. Not making this up. I’ve had some seriously wretched scratches and burns and if I use the vitamin E I don’t scar, and if I forget to use it, I scar.
So, you might consider it. I don’t know if it works for everyone like that but it sure as hell does for me. So, unless you want the scar for the Mexican gang fight story, you might give it a whirl. Take care.
nose looks good – keep putting neosporin on it
congrats on winning
i like borders or barnes and noble when i need to get out of the house
I would never take a picture of my face so close up. You have great skin!
@PastaQueen – hate mexican stupid , fuck you ( chinga tu madre )
Hey I got blindsided at a bar last night. Your cut looks a lot like mine. was your cut very deep? it looks like it healed nicely.
