I broke my jaw on monday august 20th. I just turned 17 and my junior year of high school wasnt so great so this summer i had to take precalc classes in the morning at a community college to graduate high school. So here I am on monday going to my math class. I leave the house at around 8:50 and get to the bus stop at 9. I'm the only one at the bus stop that day, I was so excited because for my bday on august 11 my parents got me the brand new galaxy s3 so I take it out of my bag and start listening to music. I'm sitting on the firehydrant and right by the firehydrant, like 2feet, theres an electric pole. I am holding my bag on the same side of where the electric pole is.
All of a sudden I find myself on the floor shaking with blood all over my hands. Everything around me is blurry, im so scared and so confused. A second later I find myself standing up (i probably got up on my own but i cant remember). A man that is parking his car sees me shaking with blood and come to see if im ok. I beg to take me home.
When I got home my sister took me to the children hospital of philadelphia. The doctors told me my jaw was fractured at 2 places; right by my ear on the right side and in the middle of my chin.
I had surgery thursday. They put a plate in my chin and wired my mouth shut.
Todays saturday and I came back home yesterday. My mouth is killing me. Some doctors said I have to stay like that for 2weeks, others said 3 weeks and another said 6weeks.
I have so many questions, i was thinking you guys could help me be more clear about my situation.
How long will I be wired shut? When will it stop hurting? When will my face stop from being soo swollen?
I feel horrible, I never thought this could happen to me. I still think its a dream.
I fell unconscious so idk what happened but the doctors believe that i hit my face on the pole because someone pulled my bad from the back.
