Wounds from Roofing Day Fall

On Monday, the roofers came and started the project, which should be completed tomorrow or Friday.

After handing the camera to Bill, I turned around from taking a picture and caught the electrical box on the pool deck with my left leg and went down on my left side. So that was Monday; today is Wednesday. I thought about taking a photo yesterday. But it was today, when the pain on the bottom of my right foot turned into a bruise with a bump. I’ve never seen a bruise on the bottom of a foot. I don’t know if I pushed hard on something on the way down or if a strained or pulled something.

So here are the grim photos to remind me of the event.


This wound measures about 5 inches along the curve, and 4 inches just measured straight from end to end. During the day it is washed clean and left dry. In the evening, I apply ointment to help the healing. This is the outside of my left leg, down near the ankle.

Below: bottom of my right foot. The bruise is about the diameter of a quarter. It has a bump in the center that feels like a tiny pebble. Looks like it comes back up toward the ankle a bit also.
