Gracie!! That looks awful. I would go to a doc or a walk in clinic or something....and not being able to bend is bad... Ugh. So sorry!! Take care of yourself!!
That looks gross. Although it is probably just a combination of your injury and subsequent time on your feet in the heat (since you are technically supposed to use the RICE principle for the first 48-72 hours after a contusion and you obviously didn't), you should still probably go get it checked out.
Yikes! Doesn't look good but I guess a difficult marathon in the heat on top of that fall could do that. Hope it starts getting better in a day or two!
My name is Grace and my life is needlessly complicated. Things happen to me that just don't happen to other shiny happy people. At least there's never a dull moment in my life!
I live in New Orleans in an old house that creates dirt with my darling husband and a few dead plants. I'm a pharmacist, he's a lawyer. Somehow we're still broke (but Sallie Mae is rich. Hmmm.). I have way too much going on in my life, including: church and Bible study, clothing design/sewing, art of various types, teaching (test prep), jewelry making, running (check out my races page for more info), the occasional intellectual endeavor (research, writing), and cooking. Oh and I work, too, of course. I'm a retail pharmacist heading up the HIV division in our region.
It might seem like this blog is just my complaints...or my races. But it's not. Someday I WILL post something useful, I promise! I hope to share the more interesting aspects of my life and a few tips, tricks, and hints that have saved me a $ or a minute. Perhaps you'll find something you like. I certainly hope so!

ReplyDeleteThat looks really serious. You have to see a doctor. You can't have it getting septic and then spreading into your blood stream.
