November 13th, 2008The Magnificent Bruise
Woot!
This is just so memorable! The first time I’ve got such a huge ass bruise smacked on my left leg!
It must have sound pretty absurd to be wearing a big bruise like some badge of honour, but hey, I don’t get to inflict such a magnificent size bruise on myself everyday. Not that I did it on purpose anyway.
As to what happened and how it happened, suffice to say that I am the clumsiest person ever and it was an unforeseen accident back at work. No, it wasn’t that bad. I didn’t get knocked by the forklift, the warehouse didn’t topple down and crush on my leg nor did my subordinate gang up and give me a good kick. Nah nothing like that.
The first few days hurt like mad and gingerly touching it makes me burst into tears. So, no mood to talk about it, no mood to take picture and all that, just plain moping and hoping that it will go away. It was just after a few days that I realize that I should take a picture for keepsake, because, as far as bruises go, they disappear and I will be like, “ya know, I once had such a big bruise on my leg here!” cue pointing to smooth unbruised leg whenever time comes for me to reminisce the good old bruise-y days.
So, there you go, my bruises!

Already subsiding. Will miss it.

For all those who care for me, yeah. I’ve consulted the doctor about the ugly colour and he said its because all the clot from the top flows to the bottom and cause the inflammation. Nothing an inflammatory pill couldn’t solve, so don’t sweat over it. Right now I am applying heat on the bruise as per doctor’s advice. I am gonna be fine and dandy soon!
Man, I feel so accomplished. Bear with me while I get all silly and gloat about how clumsy I am.
