The nose - final report

Took the nose for its MOT today.

The wraps were removed and the interior was inspected and vacuumed clean.

Then it was road-tested - i.e., was it still doing its job of helping me breathe - and pronounced roadworthy once more.

I was, however, told not to get it involved in any more accidents for the next two weeks.

Or ever again, if possible.

I'm quite scared of walking down stairs in high heeled shoes now, for fear of tripping and smashing up the nose again.

I don't like to think what the surgeon would say.

Meanwhile, the trophy plaster sits on the mantelpiece.
