I've successfully moved from bed to couch and applying a heat compress to a couple of bruises on my leg. You ever completely forget how you acquire bruises? Scary.
Fairly frequently. Until I worked out that I was hitting my shins on my bike pedals every time I started off after a traffic light. One doesn't bruise, but 3 or 4 in a row does create a bruise. Upper thigh bruises were desk corners at my office. Changed the way I move through space and problem disappeared. Arnica works.
Desk corners are the devil. I suspect that was what it was but it's just incredible how the memory seems to be completely wiped from my brain almost instantly.
I have multiple small bruises on my upper arms and one just below my boobs, have no recollection of getting them but I know they are from work.
Goodness. That sounds hectic. Hope they go away soon.
I have a bruise on my hand that I found yesterday and I just... have no idea how it got there.
So yeah... happens quite often.
Good to know it's not unusual and not just me
I don't know how it happens but I've heard of door knobs giving people black eyes too
Are they very very short? Walking into a door is bad old school prevarication for abuse, but the knob specifically?
150cm ish? I suppose some of them may be installed at an unusually high spot on the door
That’s 3cm off the definition for dwarfism. (In Caucasian people only I think.) Are you sure they are ok?
Just Asianism lol
