ORIGINAL: DesFIP The good thing is that this is repairable, see your dentist to begin, then a referral to an orthopedist. If he had broken your ear drum or your eye socket, those things are not nearly as easy to fix. Hey, I've broken an eye socket before (Or more precisely had it broken for me-brass knucks play hell with face bones) That shit hurt. Like fucking bad. And did nerve damage too,took over two years before I could feel that side of my face again, and some of the damage still lingers. The real fun came when I went and saw the nerve specialist. He said, "We can do surgery, and it might fix it. Might also make the damage worse. We just don't know enough about nerves right now. Or you could wait a year or so, see if it heals by itself." Yeah-I was all full of positivity after that lovely diagnosis. Meanwhile, BATR, this is exactly why people w/o familiarity shouldn't do anything remotely concerning edge play-the potential for damage and permanent injury is simply waaaaaaaaaaay too high. So lets be clear here, when I do faceslapping, and I've done it a lot and posted safety tips here more than once,I cradle her head in my hand, going along the jawline, across a cheek with fingertips resting in her hair. That way, I've got pretty much her whole head demobilized, which prevents lots of diufferent kinds of damages. And Ron is dead on with his boxing comments-they match my experience in fighting rings. If you're getting slapped, for fucks sake, tighten your jaw. If nothing else, it'll keep you from accidentally biting your tongue.
