So, guess what, I'm fine, but I have a big bruise on my foot, which still sucks. I just panicked before figuring out what it was. How'd I know this was a bruise?
1. Like I said before, I'm seeing a slight bump with small discoloration (there's a bit of a dark spot on my foot), that feels tender to the touch.
2. Ones of the causes of a bruise? Physical injury. My foot must've hit something in that pile of junk when I stopped myself from falling.
3. After I stopped myself from falling, I had a ton of trouble walking around. One of the symptoms of a bruise is trouble using the muscle that the bruise is on, which is why I'm either hobbling or hopping on the other foot to get around.
What I'm Gonna Do: I left a note on the bathroom mirror, asking my future stepfather (who is still at work) to get me some Tylenol so I won't have to hobble around all the time. Other than that, I should be good after a few days.
