The Mysterious Bruise

:note: Eddie Izzard DVD

I’ve managed to get a rather nasty bruise on the top of my left hand. The funny part? I have no idea how it happened. I was washing my hands in the bathroom after work today and as I was washing I was thinking, “Wash wash wash, scrub scrub scru– OH MY GOD MY HAND” and that is the first I discovered it. The bruise is barely visible to the naked eye and only appears as a small, pinkish splotch about the size of a pencil eraser, but it hurts to touch the SKIN above it. I expect bruises to hurt when you poke them, but brushing over the skin? Not so much. But this one hurts. A lot.

You’d think with an injury that renders skin over a bruise painful, one might remember it happening. Ah, nope. No idea. I’ve been trying to think all day about how it could have happened, but I don’t remember hitting my hand on anything or punching anyone or anything like that. It remains unexplained. Unexplained and painful. Ow.

    Wow..don’t you hate that when something happens and you don’t remember it? It hasn’t happened to me often but when it does, you’re like “How did that get there?”
