what is black and blue and red all over...
apparently me

who within 60 minutes of having been awake sustained two grapefruit sized bruises to my legs
and about 35 raised welts all over my arms

and before you think it was all about fun - cuz it does kinda sound like it could've been...

it involved
falling down the stairs
and getting a shocky nerve test

whoo eee good times

and then later - i got to bruise the back of my hand on a newspaper stand

is it wrong that the nerve test was the only one that DIDN'T make me cry from pain

ugh - and i so don't cry or bruise easily

christ.

ow ow ow

I have done all of those things and I agree that the shocky nerve test is not as bad as the falling down stairs. I hope you didn't break anything!

In my case I was spared the "comparison test" on the normal side when I had the electromyelogram because the neurologist doing the test was a coworker and he just told me "I won't hurt your right arm because the left one is clearly normal." But, ow.

Hope you're well as possible under the circumstances. Sympathy rays your way.

Before my most recent bruising, the most spectacular set of marks I've had in a long time came from practicing riding a bike in the church parking lot around the corner. All up and down my right calf, just from running myself into the pedal I think. Of course, I *do* bruise easily.

I think you missed the clause "Before my most recent bruising," which would be my ass. Still.
