My foot for all the world to see

Over a week ago I was sitting in my recliner petting the dog's head. I was sitting forward in the chair and the Direct TV remote was in my lap. The remote fell and landed on my ankle bone. The Direct TV remote is heavy and know I know just how heavy it is! Within a few minutes I had a lump the size of a golf ball on my ankle bone. Within a few days there was a lot of swelling and colors appeared. The photo was taken yesterday, more than a week later, and check out the colors! It is still very sore and swollen, but it has not given me a problem walking or anything. Morale of the story according to my husband - hang on the remote better! LOL! I wouldn't have laughed a week ago.

OMG that looks really bad. The remote must have it your ankle at the perfect point for the maximum injury. I don't think my remote is that heavy, but it's something to be aware of!

I guess it was the angle of the dangle for sure. It is a heavy remote....maybe put it on a chain around my neck would work

@AbbyGreenhill That would hurt my back. Perhaps just keep it on the side table and be very, very careful.

No, no problem at all thankfully. Most of the first week I didn't put any on since I wasn't going anyplace...but since Friday I had to wear them.

Wow, that's serious! I've dropped the remote on myself many times, but it's never been this serious. If it doesn't get better soon, you might want to consider seeing a doctor.

I think taking vitamin C and rutin and some other stuff might make that heal faster, and sheesh girl that is a crazy big bruise!

I take a mega dose of Vit.C weekly. Thankfully when I go out no one sees it! LOL
