As I mentioned yesterday, I was setting up a new computer at my desk in my un-air conditioned cubicle that I share with another co-worker, when it slipped out of my sweaty little hands and fell on my foot. Immediately, a bruise and a bump appeared, so I put together an ice pack. By the end of the day, the swelling was down, and just the bruise remained.
Today the bruise has spread out over a larger part of my foot and is slowly creeping up three of my toes. The color ranges from a reddish purple to dark purple to blue to greyish yellow. Every hour or so, it changes just a bit, whether in hue or area. This is what I like about bruises - they are always changing. If you are bored, a bruise is way more fascinating to watch than paint drying.
I'm just saying.

Bruises are yellow in their final stage because the iron is the last thing to be re-absorbed when the blood vessels and whatnot break.
ReplyDeleteThat's my bit of bruise wisdom.
I bruise like craaaaazy. Mr. Stapler's dog and I play-fight and when I am done, my arms are covered in bruises. Everyone always looks askance.
ReplyDeleteI love the new logo!! I think t-shirts are in the future. Who designed it?
Not to be a downer, but how painful is it? That sounds an awful lot like what happened when I broke my friend Skye's foot.
ReplyDelete(Hey, that's what happens when you mosh with Mockula!)
If you want to see a bruise that changes all kind of colors, bruise an ego.
ReplyDeleteI don't know about you but I'd milk that bruise for a few days off of work! Sorry to hear about your bad day.

I worried a bit that there might be some sort of fracture, but I seem to be able to walk on it OK. I'm definitely monitoring the situation.
ReplyDeleteI almost titled the post, "More about bruises (but not bruised egos)..."
