bruises on my knees for you

I crashed my bicycle two nights ago. My tires got caught in some trolley tracks, and I lost control and zoomed straight into a fire hydrant. Most of the last 48 hours have been occupied with ice packs, percocet, chinese food delivery and bike helmet research. (Thankfully, I took zero impact to the head!) I took some photographs of my corporeal aftermath and I think I’ll hold onto them for my own private archival, or whatever other usage(s) I’ll grant them. These discolorations are totally fascinating.
