I thought about putting this photo on Patreon so that only patrons could see it. But I don’t wanna run ’em off or anything. Nice people.
I also thought maybe I’d put it in the blog section of the website, but then, it’d be there whenever anyone scrolled down a bit- maybe for months.
Then, I figured I’d just dump it here so anyone morbid enough could get a look, but it’ll be buried in the archives or something and no lasting harm will be done to people’s eyes and minds.
Looky! Bruise!
The dates and lines are where they were keeping track of how far and fast it was spreading. Yick.
Eventually, it was all over my leg, more or less. Now, it’s mostly from the knee down.
Okay, look away now. If… You… Can.
I had my left arm look like that once. Had to look harder to realize what body part you had displayed there. Hopefully you’re in the greens and yellows of that all going away? At least the graffiti was for a good reason. You get better Greg. We need ya to hang around. K?
That junk on the pole is just ASKING for somebody to hurtle through and wipe out many thousands of bucks of techtoy tchlotsky-ish stuff.
The way you keep your drinks safe is print custom sleeves saying “Aunt Mildred’s Pickle and Prune Juice Smoothie Juice” and relabel them.
You’re all Flu’d up! You can’t spend energy typing! Get rest. I’d bring chicken soup, but by general averages, you’re probably a few hundred miles away and it’d be all cold with that funky stuff growing on top by the time I got there. We’ll think of a ‘plan B’.
Thanks, but I’m coming out of it faster than the hubby is. Thanks for thinking of bringing me some chickie-noodle with homegrown penicillin. You’re the one that needs to get all healed up there. I don’t envy you going into the Technicolor stage where it itches weird and insists on pooling at the base of your toes on top before it finishes up. I’m states away, you’ve seen my addy. I’m thinking we have the H3N2 strain-the ugly one-going by. I had Hong Kong as a wee lass, my spouse didn’t get that one, and I’m better at 2 days than he is at 4+…
Yowza! I’m glad you’re doing better now. That’s scary.
Ew. You should ask for a refund on that tat.
Woooeee, we ain’t missing no good shots now!
Greg, you should live stream this.
On the other hand, we can run a pool over when the bruise makes it to your toes. Extra credit when it seeps out onto the floor.
It’s in my foot and ankle now. The colors aren’t as neat as I had been told they’d be. I guess the ol’ bod’s been working overtime to get rid of the fluid. I went from 228 or so at the height of the ‘constantly-got-a-bag-of-something-dribbling-into-my-arm’ to 211 now. So there wound up being 17 pounds of goop to process out of the system, I guess.
About two gallons (water is about 8.4# per gallon) extra somewhere. That’s more than a bit. Yeowtch. Plus you may have dropped a few pounds just because you were parked in technotorture land there full of plumbing and wiring and things that went beep and boop.
I have multiple bruises on my belly for the Lovenox shots I have to give myself, as well as Hemosiderin Staining in both my legs due to the multiple blood clots in my legs over the past 18 years (I have a blood clotting disease). Unfortunately for me, they will never go away. I was tempted to post a picture, but all of a sudden I was thinking that this could become a bad reenactment of the wound comparison scene from Jaws. So in the meantime, I will have a drink to your bruise!
[points to a scar on chest] Mary Ellen Moffat. She broke my heart.
May you have it be better in the future. And thank you, we don’t need a game of ‘mercy’ going on. I’m sure a lot of us have some pretty good ones to trade in most every category, that’s why we hang out here. 🙂 Kindred spirits, and we all love Hubris, and we all want Greg all mended up.
Body graffiti is just part of medicine now. When I broke the ankle last year the doctor wrote “This one” on the right foot before rolling me in to get the gas and three very expensive screws.
At least the writing is nor permanent.
I have disgusting metal allergies so I am not a candidate for pins and screws. If I bust it I have ‘traction’ and ‘casts’ and ‘splints’ and ‘rehab’ and ‘let us pray I don’t immediately blow it out again’.
Folks that was Greg BUTT at the bottom of the picture and the dress is covering h is gonads … AGH! Anyone got brain bleach?! *blagh*
Glad you’re better buddy. Still prayin’ for ya.
Whatta youse? Th’ kid from ‘Da Emp’ror’s New Clothes?’
What? Greg was arranged pretty tastefully there and the cropping did justice. We didn’t see more than we had to. Now if your mind painted in the rest of it then it’s your problem and no brain bleach for you as you home-brewed that one all by yourself.
That’s a tattoo? Thank heavens. I thought the doc marked you up like those cuts of beef drawings. Nice shading and color blending there, too. (Owie!)
I thought you had a cool leg tattoo at first.
wow GREG GET BETTER FAST AND GOOD PLEASE!
I’m already better! That picture isn’t current. I’m way out of the hospital. Gotta go get some stitches taken out pretty soon, so it’s been that long, anyhow.
I am very happy for you then )
back to have you on the ‘party’ again hehe.
oops. I meant GLAD to have you back on the party again. hehe
Eeeyuck n Ouchies. Yup, that was a pretty fair ding-up indeed.
It makes for a great story to add to your already fair sized collection of stories to share with generations to come. If you’re a beer drinker, that alone should get you at least a couple freebies. ;1
Hey Greg … talk to the idiot at GoComics … have you seen what they are making people do now? When I go to http://www.gocomics.com/thebuckets it’ll take me to an “overview” and I have to click an enlarged view of the comic, to read the actual strip!
