Charlie the Cat tripped me the other night and I crashed over the C2 rowing machine. I smashed like EVERYTHING. My foot hurt immediately the next morning and I think I broke my toe. My foot and my cheek were bruised pretty quickly. I figured that the bruises would go away in a couple of days. They mostly have.
This morning I was outside taking the garbage out to the dumpster and I crossed paths with the woman who lives below me. We chatted for awhile and then she said "what happened to your eye?" I was confused but I told her about Charlie tripping me.
When I got back in here I looked at myself in the bathroom mirror and was shocked to see that I have a straight up black eye. I look like someone punched me. I fell days ago but only today it turned purple. Yesterday it was totally fine.
Oh well. I guess it is a good thing that I'm not going out anywhere these days.

Ouch! I tripped over a large plastic jug of cat food in the dark, and got a couple of bruises.

OW!!
It sounds like you haven't seen yourself in the mirror for a while until today... or did the bruise progress to that level while you slept last night?

@NJChicaa I've had that happen with bruises. Bruising is weird sometimes!

You could have worn a patch. The kids would have like a pirate for a teacher.

Sorry you fell and got injured! Cats have no idea, they can get in the way:(

Sorry to hear about your black eye. If you broke your toe, you should get it set. It could be problematic in the future if you don't.
