I am so very graceful -- not

I may need a really good cover story for a black eye. Sure I could tell the truth but that just makes me look stupid and uncoordinated. Here is hoping ice keeps me from looking too foolish. If not maybe I'll just blame it on the zombies.

Tell them that the ol man hit you cause dinner was cold.

Fortunately I didn't need to much of a story between the ice and the fact that allergies had both eyes swollen and red.

That's a good three word excuse for just about anything: "Zombies made me."

Maybe I should use that as a signature file on emails. :)

Yes - I agree.

Darned zombies.

The heats seems to have sent them into hiding in these parts -- thank goodness.

[merenwentari.livejournal.com]

They never even showed up here. Must be the humidity.

I had a true and plausible story for a black eye, and none of my patients baught it. I had my shoulder strap on my luggage snap and the metal thingy it me in the eye(just under brow bone)as I went into the airport to fly to my Grandmothers funeral. When I got back I would explain my beautiful shiner and they all said 'you did not, y'all had a fight at the funeral' I gave up and said we had a family brawl.
Definately go with Zombies!

I had a similar thing happen with a book bag. Fortunately I didn't have to explain it to family.

You could always just tell the truth, then add: "BUT! I know someone who headbutted her own car, giving herself whiplash and concussion, so what I did isn't all that bad, now is it?"

[destabee.livejournal.com]

Ouch.

Another mean door jam claims a victim?

[destabee.livejournal.com]

Nope. I managed to hit myself in the eye with the corner of my laptop while trying to get comfortable. Not as stupid as ending up in the emergency room after hand gestures while talking sent a pendant into my eye but still not very graceful.

I had a huge fairy pendant once poke my hand hard enough to shut off the nerves for a bit. OY! ;D

Yay for klutzes!

Quick! Run, do not walk, to the nearest drug store. Tincture of arnica or arnica salve will take the color out real quick. You have to put it on pretty quickly after the injury though, so if you have good color already, it won't help much, although it will heal noticibly faster.

Or you could blame it on the zombies.

Thanks. I'll remember that for the future. Fortunately the ice kept the bruising down and allergies made both eyes look swollen so that part was hidden.
