Well I suppose I was overdue a "falling over nothing" incident

I've cleaned and dressed it as best I can, but it's honestly the bit I'm least worried about. The entire knee took the brunt of the shock on the fall, and it's happy to let me know it didn't appreciate it much lol.

I can walk on it, definitely not broken. When the knee's bent (like stairs and steps) is another story, but it'll ease.

And yet somehow my jeans knee is intact?! You'd think a scrape like that would've left some mark on my clothes but nope. All I've got is a few blood spots from where it was bleeding before I could sit down with the saline. I don't get it, lol.

Ouch @Lorcan. That does look really sore. You should come with a hazard warning. 😘

I mean I even had an audience for this one (scundered wouldn't be in it). Hilariously we'd just been talking about my accident prone nature and then I put the bin out, turned round to walk back to my front door, and...fell, lol.
 
I used to go climbing a lot actually, usually indoor walls but outdoors too, and it was always brought up that I could have an accident doing anything before the climb and doing anything after the climb, but I could find the tiniest things to hold on to and keep my balance with during the climb, lol. I miss it sometimes.

At least on this occasion there's nothing broken:

Oh damn, this happened to me a few years ago while filling up the rental car when we were in America. It's because of my own stupidity. When filling up in America, there is a clasp or whatever you call it in the petrol pumps so you can leave it while it's pumping. Stupid me decided to step over the hose to put my purse down the front seat but my foot clipped the hose and I fell over. I landed on my knees on gravel ground. It flipping hurt a lot and I only noticed I was bleeding when I pulled up my jeans to check my knees. Like you, my jeans were not damaged so I didn't think I would get some wound and bled. Good thing hubby's cousin, who was with us on this holiday, had some plasters with her. And you know what the first thing hubby did? Take photos of my knees bleeding! 🤦‍♀️🙈😂
 
I don't even know what I did? Like I fell, but I fell specifically on my left side which is why my knee took most of the hit, but I didn't trip, I didn't stumble, my ankle didn't roll. My witness to the event has no idea what happened either - one minute I was walking and the next I was on the ground, lol. Literally a foot away was a patch of grass but oh no, I had to fall on the path. Took a few minutes after getting home and sitting down before the bleeding started, though. It's bled a fair amount but thankfully it's just 4 or 5 small droplets on my jeans.

These aren't heavy jeans, either. Score one for Enzo Jeans, apparently, lol.
 
Hope that your knee isn't too bad today. If you were a piggy i would be giving you Metacam but maybe an Ibropofen is needed as you are a hooman.
 
It looks better and it's complaining about stairs less, but it's still not happy with me XD

(from after being cleaned this morning, that red patch isn't blood)
 
It's better than it was, but it still gets irritated by jeans unless it's covered, and it doesn't like bending while taking my weight, like kneeling or stepping. The longer thinner cut is easier to manage than the wide open one unfortunately.
