My sister and I both have this thing where we run into things. A lot. Apparently our body-eye coordination? Not so good which is weird since we're both pretty athletic. But I run into corners with my shoulders all the time (Mom says it's the broad shoulders--what?!). The other day I REALLY missed while getting into the shower and hit the sliding doors so hard that Mom figured I'd seriously hurt myself because the thud was so very loud. Nope, just didn't quite judge the right distance between my ever-so-broad shoulders (seriously?) and the sliding doors.
Which brings me to the point of the post. I've got this big bruise on my calf--maybe three inches by two inches--and I have NO idea how I got it.
Does this happen to anyone else? Random, painful bruises? Or maybe randomly running into things? You know, ALL THE TIME? Anyone? Anyone?

I run into walls and corners a lot. Perception problems, I guess? I always cover by saying, "Oh, there's a wall here." :)
Dude I have an identical bruise on my calf and am similarly baffled as to how I got it.
Heather, you always think of such charming responses--I'm totally going to use that!
Wendy, it's like we're twins or something.
Both, all of the time.
I have all kinds of bruises, and I constantly misjudge the amount of space between me and other things. However, most of my bruises are of the unidentifiable variety, and I never know where they come from. I used to be paranoid that I had some blood problem, but it turns out that I just have lots of bruises. Oh well.
The WORST is when you get a really cool bruise in a place where you can't really show anybody, you know? If I have a cool bruise, I like to show it off...
And for what it's worth, you have teeny, tiny shoulders, just like the rest of your teeny, tiny body.
Liz, I don't think you've seen me recently enough to make any such judgments on my shoulders. Clearly, you'll need to visit again asap to make an accurate assessment.
I have a bruise on my leg and I don't know how it got there!
p.s. you need to let me know if you're going to broadcast my faults on your blog!! :)
Um.. broadcasting my clumsiness to the world.. so not cool! :)
Ha ha! Considering the only time you ever check my blog is the one time a year when I send you a link, I think I'll take my chances. =)
