Massive nose bleed

I can't believe I experienced my first full-on, mega huge nose bleed. Unlike many people I know who have nose bleeds due to the heat, mine was brought on by the sheer force of smacking my nose onto the sharp edge of a cabinet.

Story goes like this...

I was exiting my mom's toilet and was going to switch off her TV when I managed to run smack into the corner of the top cabinet. And immediately I started crying and cupping my nose because it felt as if I tore right into the bone. I didn't know then if there was external damage cuz of the sharp point of the cabinet, but all I felt was intense pain and I had to scream...

My father was right in the living room at that time when he heard me screaming and crying (quite a baby I know... imagine the pain and what was going through my head). He told me to show him my nose but I kept cupping my face because of the pain. When I eventually showed him my nose (I hadn't looked at myself at all) I saw lots of blood dripping onto the floor. That made me cry out even more... all I could do was panic because I thought I really did inflict some form of irreparable damage onto my nose. All I could think of was being sent to the hospital and getting my nose stitched up...

He quickly got a whole block of ice cubes and wrapped it up with a piece of cloth and told me to ice my face. Only then did I take a look at my face in the mirror and thanked God that the bleeding was coming from the nostril and not from an external wound. But that was just as frightening because I was thinking about blood clots and brain damage. I remembered my father telling my mother to wipe my blood off the floor because it was making me panic even more. The initial sensation of blood flowing from my nose was quite indescribable but I definitely felt more than just the trickling.

All in all, my mother thought that I should go to the hospital, but my father said that it was okay because people get hit in the noses all the time and bleed from it. E.g. Boxers. And I did agree with him because I think the bleeding was probably the bursting of a vessel. Anyways, the bleeding did stop, although my nose hurt like sh*t even when I tried to fall asleep. The pain did subside a whole lot this morning and I'm grateful for this experience as disgusting and painful as it may sound. Because then, I was telling myself to trust the Lord that nothing would happen to me and that He'd be there to help me; through my parents too.
