Not-really-gory photos

[rachelmanija]

Do not click unless you are in the mood for "Wanna see my broken foot?" Cut for photos of bruised foot (and a cat).

The photos don't really do it justice, especially of the top of the foot - there's very dark bruising at the base of my toes that didn't show up well. On the bottom, the bruise is actually darker and extends to the side of the foot. However, you can see how it's swollen so all the wrinkles have vanished. The red marks are from pre-existing blisters, not blood poisoning. ;)

Holy shit. You don't do things by halves, do you?

I couldn't just trip over my cat like a normal person, I had to fall 15 feet ON PURPOSE.

*snort* This makes me envision a cat-ruled world where an anxious conference occurs about how it is fated that Rachel is going to hurt her foot but we really don't want her to trip on a cat, that's dangerous, well, how about that bouldering she does, hmmm? You know that ridiculous doctor told her she'd break it?

I mean compared to the etiology of my worst injuries, "fell off a bouldering wall" is BADASS.

(I tore the cartilage in my knee when I was 22. People asked if I did it playing frisbee? or skiing? or falling on ice? NOOOOOOOOO. I was sitting on the floor and the phone rang and I stood up to answer it.)

(My other two noteworthy injuries -- broken ankle at 10, badly sprained food in 2015 -- I got by falling down the stairs in my own goddamn house.)
