Yowch.

So, while walking through the skyway today, I slipped. I assume there was a bit of water on the floor (it was a slushy day); my right heel went squiggling out from under me, and I landed on my knees like a fainting woman in an anime ( Read more... )

That's nothing! You should see the bruises I get at work every day! My thighs are covered with them, and I worried for a while that they would never heal because every other day I would go to work and re-injure myself. They're doing a little better now, thank goodness! Maybe you should ice your knees just in case there's some delayed swelling or something. Or soak in a hot bath. I think that helps me, but it's hard to tell, with a bruise.

I'm curious to see how it develops. It may be the biggest knee-bruise I've had since I was bitten by a horse when I was a teenager.

I may try icing it. It doesn't really hurt or anything--unless I poke it.

I'm intrigued: Why did a horse bite you?

I'm not entirely sure. I was at some riding day camp thing, another horse and rider went to pass me and the horse I was on, and the other horse gave my leg a chomp as it passed. I'm not sure if it was aiming for me or for the horse I was riding. :P

Ouch!

At least it doesn't hurt too bad, so long as I refrain from prodding it. XD

Ouch =/ I got a very spectacular bruise from tripping over on the stairs at work one time. I think it had every possible colour in there at some point! I couldn't kneel on it for about four months =/ I hope yours is better long before that!

Yikes! I haven't even tried kneeling, yet, but at least it doesn't pain me when I'm sitting or walking. Small favors. :P Thanks for the well-wishes!

All that super secret Ninja-Wizard training you've been doing is paying off!!

Wait, I wasn't supposed to talk about that, was I? SHIT!

DAMMIT, JOEL.

A trained assassin is on their way to your room. I'm sorry it had to end this way.

Ouch!! It is bad enough falling in front of people but then it has to hurt too. :(

nobleplatypus January 30 2013, 05:33:03 UTC

It couldn't even be on carpeting; it had to be on the hard floor. Bah. At least no one clapped. XD
