Bruised, But Better

I went a specialist at Union Memorial Hospital Sports Medicine center in Baltimore. (I know I talk down Baltimore, but this place is way better than anything in DC.) They took off the ER dressings and fit me with a Robocop boot, rather than a cast. Here's the bruising after 48 hours.


It was nearly black at the doctor's office, but moving around has helped circulated the blood and get it to a nice purple.

The cover story is that I fell down the stairs. I didn't figure the insurance would pay if they knew how this really happened. And if I admit what really happened, I'd have to explain why an almost 50, out of shape, computer nerd decided to take up street fighting and kickboxing as a hobby.
