OUCH

I hurt myself today. And not just to see if I still felt. (That’s a reference to a song. Anybody know the name of the song?)I hurt myself today. And not just to see if I still felt. (That’s a reference to a song. Anybody know the name of it?)
I was carrying a large box down the narrow stairwell of my apartment building and gauged a chunk of my knuckle off on the stucco. It didn’t hurt right away but I knew there was going to be damage. I waited until I got to my car before I looked at it. Don’t you love it when you can see a giant pit where your flesh used to be? And then it takes a few minutes for the blood to start oozing? I ended up going to the pharmacy to buy knuckle band-aids and antiseptic spray before going to the post office. Here’s what my finger looks like now (warning: contains icky images):

It may not look like much but it’s deep.

I would also like to complain to the makers of cameras how hard it is to use a camera if you don’t have the use of your right hand. You need to use your knee to hold the camera and then your left hand gets in the way of the flash when you try to push the shutter button. That’s why the top photo is blurry. Camera makers are so inconsiderate.

 

BURNT KNEES

I burnt my knees while out by the pool. ITCHY PAIN!! The tops of my boobs are burnt too but those are only available for viewing in person.

 

NEW SHOES = SAD FEET

 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY DAD

Today is my dad’s 69th birthday and I am going to try not to be horribly depressed all day. My  mom is coming over after I get off work and she, Hubby, and I will have dinner. Here are two pictures of my dad. One is when he was in his 20’s with his Triumph and some neighborhood boys. The second is from about 6 years ago on vacation in Washington. I miss my dad. I wish I could say Happy Birthday to him again.

 

SPINNING IS DANGEROUS

I used to think that spinning was safe. I can’t crash, get hit by a car, or fall over. But I can have my clip come unclipped and then my foot hit the floor, and the pedal go full speed into my calf, and then somehow have the other pedal hit the back of my other leg, I’m still not sure how that happened, and then still be in pain a week later. Here are my two big bruises. Ouch.

back of right calf, turning all different colors now

back of left thigh, where did those lines come from?
