An Accident Waiting to Happen

14 Mar

My sad legI am an accident waiting to happen. I am so clumsy; I run into things constantly and this week was no different than normal.

Sometimes, just to be a little silly, I run and jump on Bryan expecting him to catch me (not always smart) and this sometimes leads to pain.

Earlier this week (on Tuesday), Bryan and I were talking in the kitchen. He was sitting on our bench next to our My Yucky Bruisetable and I decided to run and jump on him, while he was sitting on the bench. I backed up almost to the fridge and started toward him. I jumped up and … … most of me made the jump. Just not my leg. I slammed just below my knee into the bench and these pictures are what happened (please excuse the blinding white/non-shaved leg):

Now, you have to know I took this pictures Friday afternoon, so it had been quite a few days since the accident. Right after I hit the bench, I looked at my leg and it was already bruising. Wednesday, when I woke up, the bruise was way uglier and had a strange white center (my friend Andrea said that was a bad sign with bruises). Next time, I’ll have to watch out for stationary objects.

    Ouch! Bruises seem to last forever too. June and I ran into each other (don’t ask me why we were each running in the house as fast as we could) and I had a bruise on my knee for three weeks. June didn’t even cry because she was so worried that she had hurt me (and it did hurt, but I was tough about it). I hope your leg heals quickly, but that is one MONSTER bruise.

    At least you know where your bruise came from. I find big and small bruises that I can’t account for. Hopefully it will heal up so it won’t look to bad anymore.

    See what happens when you act like your 12. Now you’ve learned your lesson.

    I think blame should be on Bryan for not always catching you.

    Just kidding, get well soon.
