Mystery Injuries

Looked worse yesterday. It's on my chest at the base of my sternum. Jen asked, "What's that from?" I couldn't remember. Tonight in the shower I figured it out. Yesterday morning while riding with Buddy I did a log-over and my foot came unclipped from my pedal. Without my left foot to stand on, I fell to my sternum on the seat. I've cracked ribs in a similar fashion on two different occasions. Luckily no ribs this time.

What I can't figure out is this one.

It's under my right bicep near the top. I usually don't bruise easily or so badly. I've had it a few days. It's not a location that's typical of a mt. bike crash. There was another on my left forearm, but it's finally faded. It was a mystery too.

What's not a mystery is the bruise my last Japanese Encephalitis shot left.

The shot was a week ago tomorrow. Fun stuff. Good thing I don't have another one of those for two weeks.

I'm wondering if the bruising isn't just a side effect of these shots. Maybe I should check my sixty one page pamphlet again and see?

I feel a little like The Fly, though no jars of parts - yet.
