As I’ve gotten older, I’ve developed into a bit of a klutz. I’m not really sure how it has happened, but it has.
I find bruises all over my arms and legs, remnants of injuries that I’ve gotten when I’ve run into coffee tables, bed posts, doors, walls, etc. I had a nasty bruise and cut on my leg for nearly a month from slamming my shin into a coffee table. I find bruises I have no explanation for. It’s maddening.
So far this week I have:
- slammed my elbow into my bedroom door in the middle of the night Tuesday as I was getting up to use the restroom.
- I burned myself on the neck with my curling iron Wednesday morning. On the plus side, my hair looked fantastic! 😉
- The wind caught the lid to the garbage can as I was wheeling it to the curb Thursday night. It smacked me in the forehead and left a bright red welt.
- I stabbed myself in the forearm with a box cutter while opening wine boxes at Corky last night.
And that’s just this week! There are bruises on my upper thigh that I have no clue where they came from. I am beginning to worry about my safety!
In other news, I had to cut my run short this morning. My outer right leg still hurts from that injury a few weeks ago. I don’t think its an IT Band issue because my knee feels fine. It’s about halfway between my knee and hip and it just hurts. I foam roll and it feels better. But it also makes me feel like I need to baby it and walk with a limp. Any ideas as to what I’ve done? Is it IT band issues? HELP!!
Happy Saturday friends!
