Damaged, But Not Broken

Journal Entry: Fri Mar 28, 2008, 5:13 PM


OUCH!

I try not to use my dA journal for venting, but I fell and bruised the bone in my shin a couple of weeks ago. I didn't know that a bone could get bruised. It's still swollen and painful, and it looks all sorts of yucky. There's a tiny fracture too, but the emergency room doctor seemed to think that the bruised bone is responsible for most of the pain.

Inspired by my clumsy ways (actually, I prefer "accident prone"), the features this week were chosen with a theme in mind. Have fun, and watch your step!


FEATURED ARTIST

Each time I update my journal I like to feature an artist that has used my stock in their art. This week's featured artist is...


~laFada is an Italian art student with a gallery filled with traditional, digital, and photographic images. Her style shows an introspective and thoughtful exploration of the subject in each picture.

If it's still swollen after a couple of weeks, I'd consider going back to get it checked again... Doctors make mistakes... My nephew hurt his arm not long ago, the doctor looked at the x-ray, told him it was all right and sent him home with one of those elastic bandage. A week later it wasn't getting better so he went back, they did another x-ray and it turned out it was indeed broken.
:iconcelticdragonfyre:
Actually bone bruises are worse than breaks because the tissue bruises THROUGH the bone. It can take up to months to heal. Sorry to tell you. I got hit by a car my first year on the police force and dislocated both my knees. I had bone bruises through both of them. Although I was realized to go back to full detail a month later, it hurt for about six months. Hopefully yours won't be that bad. I hope you feel better. Get a ankle wrap that stays on all day, and buy it loose. Find a thin ice pack and insert it in the wrap. The cold will numb the pain.

I bruised my shin too. I tangoed with a metal easel and tripped over it so hard the bottom front of my shin got really bruised. That was about 5 months ago and I still have a bruise that hurts!

Sorry to hear that. Hope that you heal up soon. I've had my share of injuries and understand the frustration of everyday life when hurt.

On a side note:
But hey, look on the bright side. You could do a whole stock spread on being gimped up on crutches and what not. hehe. You wouldn't have to pretend so much with the facial expressions of pain. :giggle:

Seriously though, hope you get better soon.
:iconznow-white:
Aww..hope you are feeling better soon...I know how it feels had the same myself..so take not to knock it :( :hug:

What do I put here? O.O
:iconhealersmoon:
Ouchies! That sounds terribly painful. I did almost the same thing once. I was crossing a street and reading something on the back of a book I had just gotten at the library, and I tripped on the curb. Everything went flying and I landed on my knees. I went to the ER because I could hardly walk and I had bruised them pretty badly. Really sucks! Please feel better soooooon! :hug:

Some Artful Words of Wisdom:

"A man paints with his brains and not with his hands."
- Michelangelo (1475-1564)

"A picture is something which requires as much knavery, trickery, and deceit as the perpetration of a perfect crime."
- Edgar Douglas (1834-1917)

"Poeple don't realize what they have when they own a painting by me. Each picture is a phial with my blood. That is what has gone into it."
- Pablo Picasso (1881-1973)
