the shins
behind the cut is a result of a recent snowboarding incident:
long story short; i fudged up and slammed my shins on a rail/box/"extreme terrain feature"

this series of pics was taken soon after the incident. none of the pictures really do it justice, and this collaberation was the closest to "3-D" as i could get... notice what you can see in some pictures, and cant see in others... the last picture probably has the best shading to help tell how big the "bulge" on my shin is, but you can also barely see the "small" (a little over an inch long) scrape behind the bulge in the first pic.
(i am also now emphasizing how minor the "scrape" is, and how much more significant the swelling is)
my other shin was similarly effected, since i slammed them both at the same time, but the swelling was at about half the degree. my knee might hurt the most (esp. when used) from how i landed on it, but is not picture worthy.
soon after the pics were taken, the swelling had already increased to the size of my knee, almost making it appear as though i had two knees.
as cool as two knees might be, that was not the case.
two days after the incident, my shin is healing, but definately still injured.

the entire bruise wraps nearly all the way around my leg below the calf.
(size reference = the height of this pic is roughly from right above my ankle, to right below my knee.)
...in the previous "shin" post, i emphazised the insignificance of the scrape... now its evident.
i havent bruised this visably since i seriously messed up my ankle skateboarding.
if youre gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough
