Since arriving in Chamonix I have had a pretty good run injury-wise, that was until last week.
Ironically, the morning before this lovely little bruise appeared on my leg, I sent my mum an e-mail, reassuring her that ' I am being really safe and careful'.......oops.
Following several awesome powder turns on a sunny day at Le Tour (one of the ski areas in Chamonix), I decided to make a nice sharp turn into a powder bump that was concealing a spikey stump. OUCH....... no more powder and I ended up with this........
To make things worse, I couldn't find a way to document the actually bruise----so I ended up like this........
I have to say that I began to feel like I was making some kind of bruise soft porn movie---creepy but the evidence needed to be documented.
Since this picture (which was taken about a day after the stump-smashing incident), the bruise has taken the whole of one side and the back of my thigh as well as giving me at least another 5-10cm of swelling. I was just happy I could ski the next day :)
Just in case you didn't see it properly---here is a close up.
