Bruises

[BigV]

glatt, your injury reminds me of this injury I sustained back in July. I was walking backward in the shop and I stepped (mostly) into the opening to the pit. Whoops. As I flailed my arms my hand eventually landed (mostly) on the safety net covering the opening. But not after I'd dragged across the upward facing end of an S hook used to hold the batten at the end of the net securely to the wall.

This injury hurt like a MF for a long time, turns out that spot gets a LOT of traffic, the outer corner of the heel of your hand. You can find this spot (if you're right handed like me) by moving the mouse, and then noticing where you're pivoting your hand. Yep, right on the ouchie.

No stitches for me though. There was a lot of blood and cursing. When I got it cleaned up, I could see the little blobs of fat and other interesting stuff normally found it the "Visible Man" illustrations.
