Injuries sustained on BART
Originally uploaded by Dear Allegory

I'm not the most cautious person, anyone who has walked around downtown with me can tell you that i hardly ever look to see if traffic is coming, i just step haphazardly into the street. I run into people, poles, and any other random objects. If i wear shoe's with laces i trip on them, if there's gum on the ground, i step in it. (actually if there is any weird stuff on the ground, like dog shit, a squished banana, or something slippery, my shoe goes in it.)

So i wasn't surprised when i biffed it in the middle of the BART station while running UP the escalator. I actually propelled up two more steps and then landed right on my legs and palms.

I got up quickly, and kept running and jumped onto BART...only then did i realize i felt pain all over my body...

I was in school all day, and the only things i was sure of was my palms were purple and bruised and my legs were hurting all day.

When i got home i finally inspected, and i found that i had two huge bruises on the top of my shins, a raspberry on my left outer ankle, a slice on my lower right shin, and purplish bruise on my right ankle. A bruise on my ribs...(who the hell knows how that one happened)

and both my elbows and forearms have scattered bruises.

This all happened on Monday, 4 days later, and the bruises on my upper body are pretty much non-existent. My legs on the other hand, are still sore.

UGH, I should have know someone as clumsy as me shouldn't try scaling the escalator at high speeds.

Oh, another day in the life of Pam...
