grate job.

Uploaded from the Photobucket iPhone App

Would you get bored with me if I told you I fell down?

Ok, so let's try a bit harder. I was making my favorite meal, pasta carbonara. The only minus was, that I didn't have bacon or eggs. But what I did have was carrots. I took the gigantic carrot grater from the top shelf. I slipped and rather than aiming the carrots on the sharp surface, I put my elbow on it. Hasta la pasta!

If eschar is on a limb, it is important to assess peripheral pulses of the affected limb to make sure blood and lymphatic circulation is not compromised. If circulation is compromised, an escharotomy, or surgical incision through the eschar, may be indicated.

stairway to my heaven.



New year, new bruises, new cuts, new accidents, new moves with a masochism vibe.
2012 started out well: I put my six inch heels on, and I sipped on my bubbly. This is a doomed calculation for me. Hey hey, rumble down the stairs-eh.

Experts in the field of injury prevention avoid use of the term 'accident' to describe events that cause injury in an attempt to highlight the predictable and preventable nature of most injuries. Such incidents are viewed from the perspective of epidemiology - predictable and preventable.

red delicious.



Who takes her sharpest kitchen knife into bed with her, just to peel and slice the perfect Royal Gala?
Who forgets about the apple on her hand when finding something way more important on the internet?
Who then an hour later slices her elbow to that same sharp kitchen knife, which is still surprisingly lying next to her pillow?

I hear apples are good this time of year.

Donald W. McKenzie, an employee of Stark Bros Nursery, obtained a US plant patent for the cultivar on October 15, 1974.[2] The variety is also an increasingly popular option for UK top fruit farmers. It is a relatively new introduction to the UK, first planted in commercial volumes during the 1980s.

what a pussy.



Step one: pick your most infected finger. For this trick you need a simple cut (preferably caused by a sharp needle-like object) that has already developed some pus inside it. (Note to self, learn how to use the word pus properly in a sentence.)



Step two: Find the sewing kit you stole from a hotel cleaning cart even though you already had two in your own bathroom.



Step three: Find your lighter next to your deodorant. Boil up the needle, kill 'em germs.



Step four: Proceed to the first strike. Try to aim at the root of the problem, literally. Blood may appear. Keep poking. Have a hedgehog as a silent inspiration in mind.



Step five: Squeeze the cut until you have tears in your eyes. At this point you realize that no happy pus is coming out. Dry your tears and go to sleep. Tomorrow is a new day.

Something that creates pus is called suppurative, pyogenic, or purulent. If it creates mucus as well as pus, it is called mucopurulent. The most common agents that induce pus formation are bacteria, such as Staphylococcus aureus. In addition, some chemical agents can cause pus creation.

band it.



What does a normal person do when she cuts her finger? Puts on a band-aid.
What do I do when I cut my finger? "WHERE THE FUCK IS MY CAMERA!"

Brötchens can be sneaky bitches.

The adhesive used on the underside of the Band-Aid is epoxy made from the same compounds as glue. The actual bandage is made with nylon fibers embedded into medical cloth. Cotton is used as the absorption pad covered with a thin plastic sheet with holes for ventilation.

My workplace is extremely hazardous. We got racks and tables in all geometric shapes the 1st grade math book taught us: cubes, triangles, cylinders, octagons, pentagrams, enneagons, hendecagons, etc.
Summed up: it's a true playground for me.
This is also a reason why my legs always look like a ten year old football hope's after a hardcore tournament Summer. This tiny one is just a light bumping-into-a-table -bruise. Easy, breezy, beautiful: cover girl.

Orvos realized that Anakin could be their savior, and conducted a ritual ceremony which involved covering Anakin in bruise-leech crawlers which left geometric tracks over his skin. Anakin followed the frozen tears of the Great Mother, and discovered the Techno Union experimenting with a dangerous mutagen on Nelvaan warriors.

I hear Ms. Gaga is a trend setter. Or was it me? Bruise up birdies!

thigh high.



Vavavoom. What is an electro festival without a bruise? An electro festival.
There was a lake. When there's a lake, you go swimming.
But I don't swim so I decided to climb trees instead. This tree did not like me.

Gowers' sign is a medical sign that indicates weakness of the proximal muscles, namely those of the lower limb. The sign describes a patient that has to use his hands and arms to "walk" up his own body from a squatting position due to lack of hip and thigh muscle strength.

heeling power.



Killer heels + dancing all day long = something old, something new, something borrowed, something BLUE!

The Achilles tendon is the muscle tendon of the triceps surae, a "three-headed" group of muscles -- the soleus and the two heads of the gastrocnemius.
