Help!

I got into a car accident on Monday...some guy cut me off, my truck spun out and hit a snow mound....and I slammed my face on the steering wheel...
My face is not really bruised but it is really swollen...the bridge of my nose is tremendous and I resemble the elephant man.
The point is-- I have a wedding to go to on Saturday morning! My fiance is a groomsman!! I told him I can not go ....I will seeing people I haven't seen in years, all of his friends....I look absoultely HORRIBLE! (I'm crying while I type this ) My fiance is FLIPPING OUT on me! What do I do....

Oh P.S-- the rehearsal dinner is tonight and my fiance is telling me I have to go....my face isn't bruised it's just big! I can't do this! What am I going to do?????

OH MY! I hope you are alright.... why don't you lay down and rest and put a bag of ice on your face.... ice should help the swelling. But then again, I'm not a doctor... I hope the swelling goes down.

OMG, you poor thing! Have you been to a doctor? Are you sure nothing is broken? Are you putting ice on it? (sorry for all the questions, I am just alarmed for you!)

I completely am on your side on this one. i understand that your FI probably does not want to go alone, but come on, you were in an accident. My goodness, he should be waiting on you day an night right now. or at least that is what i would want. I know that my FI can be the same way, but he would totally understand. I think you just need to tell him that you not only do not want to go, but that you aren't going and would like his support.

plus, i think you need some advil, a hot bath, some wine and then an ice pack!! please take care of yourself and do not stress. just send your apologies. good luck!

Thank goodness you weren't more seriously injured. I would rest up tonight - skip the rehersal dinner, and see how you feel in the morning. Are you in pain?

If you're not confortable going, don't go.

thanks octbride , thanks joro-
yeah I went to the doctor...nothing is broken...what happened was I immediately got this HUGE egg on my forehead, and it has moved down to the bridge of my nose...this means it is healing i presume...but i would rather have a knot on my head and cover it with my bangs then have this HUGE nose and swollen eyes...it is horrible looking.
My fiance was nice but he is DEMANDING that i have to go, and when I tell him no , he either hangs up on me, walks out of the house etc... this is causing a big fight between us!
He keeps telling me we are the next to get married and it doesn't look nice plus he doesn't want to go alone. I don't look like I was in a train wreck, but my face is extremely distorted...my eyes are squinty and puffy and my nose is gigantic..this is so frustrating

Ouch, i am sorry to hear you were in an accident.

I agree with Lisa and Octbride, get some rest and put ice on it to help the swelling.

Also did your doc give you any pain killers, maybe take them and see if they help.

Dont go to the diner tonight but tell your FI you dont want to go because you want to get plenty of rest because you want to be better to join him on saturday and you cant guarantee you will go but you want to look your best and in order to do that you need bed rest and ice.

Assure him you want to be there for him, but in the condition you are in you are not sure and will see how you feel on saturday.

Your health is a lot more important.

diamondgirly - From what you've written it sounds to me like the reason you don't want to go doesn't have anything to do with pain/health. Correct me if I'm wrong, but is the reason you don't want to go because you think you look ugly? If thats the case, then I understand where your FI is coming from. He loves you, he knows your friends love you, and he thinks that a you not looking your best is irrelevant.

If on the other hand, you just haven't stated that you are in unbearable pain that would make being out a horrible experience, then I understand where you are coming from.

I'm sorry you are going through this!!!

I hope you feel better soon So did fh go & have a good time last night?Is he still mad w/you?
