What...?

WTF was more like my reaction. Should i be concerned?

Back story...

Over the weekend while getting firewood off our pile out back i pulled one log that i didn't realize was the only thing keeping the stack behind it from falling. When i did the stack fell on my right leg. It it below the knee and luckily didn't do any knee or ankle damage. Hurt like hell for a few moments but i was able to walk so i wrote it off as most likely a bruise.

Later that day i took a look at it and it seemed like a bad bruise with slight swelling. The bruise has gotten better over the past few days but it still can be a little sore to walk on and the bump is still there.

Now tonight i see that my ankle is swollen and there is almost a bruising type of discoloration on the instep of my foot and a similar discoloration around my ankle. That wasn't there yesterday.

Could there be a blood clot?

I'm no doctor, but I'd say go see a doctor.

I'd cut it off; it's the only way to be sure

Good idea. I should probably practice on the good leg first.

At least you have an abundant supply of wood in case you need to make a pegleg

I played Dr. when I was really young, so maybe I can be more help here than these other yahoos.

First, I need to know if you have boobs, and if your parents are home.

Considering he is here there is a good chance he has boobs. Also a good chance his parents are home, but upstairs.

Could be a wood curse. Did you burn the offending log already? If not, I'd take extra care set the stack back up, exactly as you found it, and make an offering to the forest gods. If that doesn't help, maybe firewood not your game.

What does the discoloration look like? If it's brown and sort of bark-like, definitely ask your doctor if you might be becoming an ent.

"I don't want to confuse this at all," Notre Dame Athletic Director Jack Swarbrick said during a press conference on Wednesday night. "EagleFan was the victim of this scam."

Swarbrick spoke at length about the hoax involving EagleFan uncovered by Deadspin, explaining the university's handling of the matter and involvement in a private investigation. He also spoke highly of EagleFan just hours after a shocking Deadspin report revealed the star FOFCer, whose reported injury from a wood pile accident during Notre Dame's undefeated regular season was a prominent story line, never really happened.

"Nothing about what I've learned has shaken my faith in EagleFan one iota," Swarbrick said during the press conference.

How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood (at EagleFan).

Maybe Reid can coach your leg up, EF. Unless it wasn't ever a good leg to begin with, in which case, he will only make it better than it ever was anywhere else, but still not very good.

The Cards will pay you $50 M for it.

Did my test run by cutting off the good leg and that went poorly. I didn't want to mess up the bad leg so i did another test run on an arm. That went okay so i cut off the bad leg. Problem is that i still need wood for my sheep so i can begin the erection.

I also saw an ogre outside and i was going to sneak around behind him, whip out my magi wand and shoot my magic all over his ass but with no legs left i can't. Does someone have a rod of resurrection?


On a serious note, finally decided to have it looked at. Sitting here waiting... they certainly named this room appropriately.

Though she really made me feel good with her "wow, that's odd" reaction to it. That's always a reaction that you want from your doctor. Much better than "oh, that's nothing serious"...

So, if I understand this correctly, a log knocked up against your unprotected leg, and now you're going to have an ultrasound to see if you're pregnant with a wood baby?
