I play soccer (...football...). Alot. In fact, I signed up for this task before I even got injured because I knew that it was only a matter of time before I was to be battred and bruised again.

As suspected, one evening in soccer practice, I was playing in goal and the following injuries occured:
I was stepped on
I cleated myself (muiltiple times)
I got turf burn from sliding on the field (from muilitple different instances)
I was hit very hard by the ball (muiltiple times)
I was kneed in the head

Unfortunatly, it was not untill the following night that I even noticed that I had wounds from practice so an entire 24 hours had already elapsed between the time that the actual injury took place and the time that I took the first pictures.
Again, unfortunaly: I recived no visible marks from either the ball or the knee.

Day 2:


Day 3:
The scratches are doing slightly better but the bruises actually look worse, and to my surprise, while showering I found another couple of bruises on my right elbow that had previously gone un-noticed.


Day 4: The scratch has almost healed and the bruises are doing that cool thing that they do where they start turing sort of greenish...



Day 5: The scratch really is almost healed now. really. and the bruises are most deffinatly turning a yellowish-green. All of them except for the one on my elbow, I'm not sure if this one will heal....



Day 8: Two days later and things are looking much better.


Day 9: Although they have all come a long way, surprisingly, none of my injuries have healed all the way
*Note to self: eat more iron*


Day 10:


Day 11: Unfortunatly around this time I dropped my camera, messing up the lens (and since hitting it repeatedly apparently didn't help...) the remainder of this proof will be sans photographic evidence.
Elbow: the bruise is virtually gone!
Inner Thigh: The larger bruise that was closest to the knee is also virtually gone. The two little ones in the middle are mostly green, but they still have splotchy brown centers. Then of the two furthest up my thigh, one of them is almost compleatly gone, but the other has managed to form itself into five little purpleish-brown spots that have fallen into the shape of a pentagon, all within a swatch of my leg that is smaller than a dime. It's really quite cool looking, now that I notice it... I might have to try and borrow a camera some time today.
Outer Thigh: I got kind of annoyed with how slowly this one was healing so I spent a little time picking at what was left of the scabs. Now there are only the three thin little lines of new skin where the injury used to be and a little bit of pink around it all (probably from me scratching at it)


Success! these pictures don't really show the dots that well, but it really is pretty weird.

perphas it's a portant...


Day 12: Down to three bruises! Outer thigh, elbow, and largest bruise on inner thigh are compleatly healed. the other three are still sort of yellowish with small brown splotches.

Day 13: Hooray for healing! Everything is all gone!
