I Am My Own Favorite Experiment

Exhibit A - My latest acquisition:


a 5 1/2" x 3 1/2" bruise on the back of my leg. It is the most amazing thing I've done to myself in a long time. I am in awe of my body's ability to produce those colors. But of course, I would prefer it without the searing pain when I sit and it hits the edge of the chair.

FYI - my ex-husband (emphasis on the ex) once gave me a helmet for my birthday so I had some padding the next time I ran into a wall. I am, to say the least, a tad bit on the side of accident prone...

I'm a little late in leaving this post, so I'm hoping the purple has turned to a nice shade of green at this point. From experience, the pain will finally go away sometime in the next two years, leaving a wonderful collection of veins in what used to be a really nice part of your leg. Ugh!

Well, the good news I wasn't overly fond of my legs to start with (they're pretty utilitarian in my view) so no harm, no foul.
