My left glutius maximus is badly bruised.
Dillan and a friend of hers take me down to walk in clinic at port place doc says deep, deep muscle bruise. Swelling is pinching nerves causing pain elsewhere. The more I stand and limp around the more it hurts. Doc said to ice it and let it heal for between 1 and 2 weeks. I don't have ice. I think I need to borrow two ice packs that don't require microwaving.
When I got back I had a hot and then cool bath for over and hour. I almost fell asleep. When I got out of the bath I cried a lot. I put some A535 on my leg only to find that it's 1 year past expiry. And in the last 5 days it went off. I rubbed it on, it got cold, it got hot, it got burny. My leg was and butt cheek were bright red and burning. I washed with a cold cloth repeatedly and slathered it with aloe gel. Dealing with that got me out of my sobbing.
