That's a hell of bruise, Buster... you gotta stop running into yourself.

This is from the IV they put in to sedate me while extracting my wisdom teeth (left inner elbow).

Not a very flattering pic of my leg (it's all muscle, honest), but here's the bruise -now about 24 hours old) that takes up at least 1/3 of my shin and proof indeed that if you want to be a soccer goalie, shin guards are a damn good idea..... that's gonna be a lovely green and purple combo by this time tomorrow....

(and yes, that is another bruise lower down. I saved several goals with that shin!)

Nice.

I'm bummed I forgot this thread after a less than satisfactory Red Cross blood drive experience.

That, reminded me of this:

I come back over a year later to say to Monster - ha!
That's not a bruise!

Last Tuesday (ie a week and a half ago) we had a pirate party at school.
Instead of What's the Time Mr Wolf?, we played What's the Time Mr Shark?. Out on the school field, divoted and pock-marked as it is. Now I'm an enthusiastic volunteer, and was an extremely active child/ teen. I forget I am morbidly obese and if I run full pelt to catch the children I also run the risk of coming down with all the weight of responsibility behind me.

As happened. I tripped, and came down on one knee and shin and the other shoulder. Luckily I didn't reach terminal velocity, and was wearing jogging bottoms for the precise reason that I knew it would be an active day.

The best of the bruising didn't really come up for the best part of a week.
It's still painful to kneel on my left knee - something I realised today when Diz (the cheeky shit) nipped into the 'rents' room for a kip under their bed. He's not allowed in there full-stop, because he's such a bully. The fact he had to be dragged out by his scruff, with me moaning OW OW OW suggests he was planning a pointy surprise for Mia sometime tonight.

So enough talk, here we are. Included both legs to emphasise the colouring. I'm pretty pale - this is not a healthy tan. Oh and yes - I am hairy. I have no desire to touch the swollen and bruised leg, even with a razor, if I can cover it up in the mean time. Luckily my invite to the Large Women's MiniSkirt Ball has not yet arrived.

Ouch!

Holy hell, Sundae! You got the whole length of the shin there, that's pretty impressive.

Damn fine bruise ya got there - Proud of ya!

Gosh SG you sure blew Monnnie away! Yeouch! :eek:

Fun fact: if you scroll up so that only the bottom inch-and-a-half or so of Sundae's photo is showing at the top of your browser window, it looks distinctly like a man's bruised ass. This came to light because my stepdaughter walked around the corner and said, "Is that a picture of a butt?"

Ohh, forgot about this thread....

Thats really impressive Sundae!!

Yes, thats the underside of my boob...its the only thing that stopped the ski taking off my head :)

and when I get dared to take on the half pipe first time on the snowboard for the season....

Wow, SG -mine did eventually turn all those colors and more, but the size of yours is truly outstanding. Bruise.

It was a bit of a cheat to wait til the bruising came up so well, I admit. And I bruise so easily anyway.

Ducks! Blimey.
Thems some deep bruises. I don't even want to think about the under-boob one in relation to underwired bras!
