contusion art

Okay, so this post my turn a few of you off…especially if you’re easily grossed out.

I have this knack of bruising myself.  Yes, I will admit it here – Grady gets his accident-proness from me.

So yesterday, I looked down at my leg & I have this horrible bruise on my knee.  It’s deep purple & raised & I swear, I have absolutely no idea how I got it.

I ended up going to the doctor to have him take a look at it.  I recently started some new antibiotics & didn’t know if I was having a reaction to the medication or if I had some weird blood clot.  Luckily, it’s just a bruise.

Now, I have an odd sense of humor – especially when it comes to myself.

Hmmm…you know, I think I just leave it there, & let the next few photos testify to this…

Here is my bruise.  Isn’t it pretty?

The next few photos are also pics of my bruise.  So, maybe I was a little bored.  Maybe I was in a quirky mood.  Then again, it’s quite possible I was suffering from an antibiotic side effect…

But, this morning, I present, “The Art of Contusion”:

Yes, I probably should have waited for the bruise to lighten to the appropriate shade of yellow.  But, I took this opportunity to use a bit of artistic license.

All you “Little Shop of Horrors” fans know what I’m taking about.

We saw “Up” this weekend.  It was soooo good that I just had to include it in my portfolio.  In all seriousness though, it was a great family movie.  I highly recommend it!

If anyone is interested, I do offer my services to pimp up your bruise for a small fee.
