Broken Cheek Bone From Leaf Spring

Tegan was working on his truck while Zac was at work and I was in Basalt, CO for work.  I got a call from him saying that the leaf spring hit him in the face.  Him and his friend were changing out the leaf springs in his truck and one popped out and hit him in the head.  He was telling me that it hurt and I told him to take some ibuprofen and put some ice on it.  I was worried because I didn’t know how bad it was since I wasn’t there.  Luckily Zac was about done with work, so I called him and told him to hurry home and check on him.  In the meantime I had his brothers make sure he didn’t fall asleep until Zac got there and checked him out.   When Zac got home he decided to take him to the doctor because it was getting pretty swollen and those leaf springs have a lot of tension/force in them. They found out that he had three different breaks in his cheek.  Zac had to call in sick the next day and take him to a facial surgeon because they weren’t sure if he needed to have a plate put in his cheek or not.  Luckily the surgeon felt like it would heal without surgery, but man this boy is tough!!  I can’t imagine how bad this must have hurt, but he was so tough and never complained!!  His pain tolerance is INCREDIBLE!!  I feel so bad for him!!!
