What's with bruises?? Why is it that when I bump something and think "Boy, is that gonna cause a bruise!" that it never happens? And where do these mystery bruises come from? I have several bad ones on my arms and legs, and I have NO idea what I did that caused them. I'm sure that it's something to do with gardening. I'm not the most graceful person, so I've probably bumped something and forgotten about it.
Do I need more vitamins? More potassium? Why does getting bruises seem cyclical?
Yeah, what IS with bruises? Same thing happens to me. I seem to bruise rather easily these days. I'm sure all that gardening you've been doing has presented a few good bruises for you Buffy. You're getting some pretty good exercise doing something you like...I guess a few bruises is a small price to pay.
I don't mind trading the exercize and getting the gardens in shape for a few bruises. As you said, it's a small price to pay. I just wish I knew what causes them to come in clumps. I talked with Elegante Mother about it today, and she said she has always had the same problem. I'm sure that it's related to hormonal swings in some way, probably a vitamin or trace element that we need more of at certain times. Luckily, they don't hurt, and they go away!
