Road rash/hematoma on hip - crash + 4 days

Road rash/hematoma on hip - crash + 4 days

Swelling’s most of the way gone - I think my leg’s still a bit swollen overall, but the large lump on my hip is mostly gone.  As you can see, the bruising is pretty ugly and has spread quite a bit - it’s currently running from just above my hip to about halfway down to my knee, and is now also most of the way around to the back of my thigh.

4th of July BBQ went quite well - very rainy, but we just moved things inside.  Being on my feet all days wasn’t the happiest thing for my hip, so I’m planning on spending most of today resting and icing my hip.
