L Upper Leg, Impact wound / trauma
2009-11-10 – 2009-11-24
Grade: 3
Hit by a taxi while riding through town. Managed to skewer my upper inner thigh on the end of the handle bar when I fell onto the bike. Ouch. It's a FINE shade of black and hurts to walk/put weight on. It'll be fine in a week or so. Still, what a pain in the ass.
8 days later: Bruise is still nasty but not really painful. It's starting to clear up from the top down. I guess that's gravity for you. The issue now is the hole my handle bar left. It's scabbed but rubs a little when I run/ride. Should be right in another 5 days.
14 days later: A tad stiff, a slight bruise but getting back to normal.
Don't get hit by cars... Failing that, give it time, take a break and let it heal properly.
