I just bleed internally. No, seriously, I bruise more easily than just about anyone I know. I can brush past a doorknob, and will end up with a fist-size purple bruise on my hip.
So, after clearing up a bunch of de-construction debris a couple weeks ago, my arms were so bruised, I looked like I was a heroin junky.
As for actual, red, liquid, external bleeding, good question. I can't rightly recall. I don't really do too much to cause injuries like that anymore.
Hangnail.
I'm not kidding.
Today? How about in the last five minutes?
I have a new kitten who thinks I'm great for climbing.
Fish hook in the hand--ow--standing in the middle of a river trying to release a just caught smallmouth bass--I'm glad there are no sharks in Ohio's rivers.
It's been a while since I had an injury draw blood. A few months ago I was chopping some produce to make chili, and I sliced the bejeezus out of my finger. Now if you ever cut yourself whilst preparing food, you know that band-aids don't do a darn thing, especially if you need to keep rinsing your hands. Soo, I busted out the crazy glue and glued the wound shut. Works like a charm.
as we speak from posting too much
At Duke at the end of the weekend, I'd often count how many UDI* bruises I'd ended up with.
(* Unidentified drinking injury)
Hit the pavement while cycling in IN & MI. My 12 year old niece went down in front of me and I couldn't avoid her bike. I went over the handle bars and hit the pavement. We both were exceedingly fortunate - just bruises, scrapes, and a sprained wrist. Some bike repairs and a new helmet later we were back to riding.
I voted "2 weeks" a while back, but if I could change my vote, I'll have to go with "today". I fell off my bike and now I got two nice sized scrapes on/near my right knee (+ sprained ankle). Time to readjust the chains I guess... I must have pedaled too hard and it slipped, and I barely avoided hitting a tree. A couple more feet and it would have been a fire hydrant!
(see, I don't hate all bikes, I just hate cyclists who don't obey traffic laws)
LOL! Better UDI than DUI.
Seriously, you sound just like my mother - she's always bruising something.
I can't remember my last externally bleeding injury, but back in April when I tore the short head bicep tendon in my right arm playing softball, http://www.jacobrozbruchmd.com/nycor...eon/biceps.htm my right bicep turned red and purple two days later, from top to bottom and side to side, for about 3 weeks. Then it all disappeared very quickly. My doctor told me the injury had a 4 week recovery time, but I was playing again in only 3 weeks, and have had no lingering affects. Then a shortstop hit me in the right butt cheek as I was going back to first base after he caught a line drive. That too, left a mark, but I only showed it to my wife.
Ozzie, your paradigm of optimism!
