    While I was packing some clothes into my suitcase in a hurry it fell off the bench and fucking walloped my leg. I don’t even remember which part of it hit me. It was an instant “oh fuck” when it was falling but I could move in time

    Now I have an about 8cm long red, swollen, very painful bruise on my shin. This happened about 4 hours ago, and I did try to brush it off, but it hurt walking through the shops to go get my roast chicken and I got many stares (I wear shorts). I also don’t have a first aid kit or ice pack yet, so uhh, go me I guess. Oh, and I’m a tummy sleeper so it’s hurts to lie down 🙃

      Frozen peas in a towel are a better ice pack than an official ice pack. Plus you can eat them at some point. You can gladwrap it in place if it’s not too cold on your leg, hence the towel.
