Klutz moment #... eh, who's counting?

So that's my bruise; isn't it pretty?

Forgot that I hadn't shared this story yet, until I read someone else's journal of pain. :P
Anyhoo, so about two weeks ago, we went out to see Mercury and the Pleiades because we're all nerds (by we, I mean my mother-in-law, my sis-in-law, one of her friends, and myself). It had been raining quite heavily the day before, and we were parked on what, in dry weather, would probably be described as "sandy." Sand mud, as I found out, is quite slippery. I was hopping up into the bed of the truck, lost my back leg's footing while my front leg was halfway up, and met the tailgate with every part of my right leg. I took off all the skin on my shin, some of the skin on my knee, and bruised my thigh (above) and said knee quite badly. This was two weeks ago, I've been icing it when I can since, and it still REALLY hurts to put weight on my knee. I realize I ought to be worried about the actual serious injury part, but I mostly can't stop thinking about how much my physical therapist is going to laugh at me if I end up in there with knee problems yet again.
Also, not a week after that, I got up in a hurry to answer the phone, and strained the OTHER knee. Holly can attest to that, since I showed up to D&D with the strained knee braced.
The picture of the bruise is from the first day I got it, when I thought that was going to be the part that ended up hurting the worst, since none of the knee bruises had even shown up yet. Now it looks even more like a gigantic hickey. No really, it does. Everyone who's seen it says so.
So that was my adventure of the month! I s'pose, since I get free medical, I should probably have me doctor look at it, since I'll be up there next week anyway. If it still hurts, I'll consider it.
