Well

At the very least, I finally have some visible bruises after an injury.  But, I must admit, I didn't really want so many:

Good thing I was playing with my phone while walking down the stairs on Sunday, or else I would have missed all those awesome Facebook posts about what people were having for dinner.  WORTH IT.

OUCH. As someone who had a similar foot injury two years ago I can sincerely say that Vodka will help that.

Oy. How is it possible to bruise both sides of your heel like that?

Pure talent, obviously. I landed on the top of my foot and didn't twist my ankle at all. I guess I just crushed all the gooey bits inside my foot and made their insides leak out. (Those are medical terms, of course.)

The advantage to being in nursing school is that I got free (unofficial, so I can't sue) medical advice and feel fairly comfortable about not getting it X-rayed.

She didn't mention the healing power of vodka, though, which makes me question her credentials.
