Ha!

I need one of those on a regular basis. About 2.5-3 weeks or so ago, I fell and twisted my left foot. All the muscles from the top of the foot, across the outside, to the heel and partially underneath the foot were pulled enough that it was excruciating to put weight on it for a couple of days. Yes, I RICE'd it. No, I haven't been to the doctor yet. But I will since it's still a bit tender to the touch.

This past week I had an incident, shall we call it, with a piece of work machinery and the bruise from that is just now starting to heal. I got some weird looks when I went out because it first looked like a Nike swoosh and then the bottom of the swoosh broke out and spread and then it looked like someone punched the Hell out of me. I got a lot of concerned looks from customers and gym patrons so I've had to wear longer sleeved shirts to keep the noseys away.

I have always been a little hard on myself, accidentally, but it's definitely getting worse. Jeebus, I really am getting old.
