blood and gore

So my doctor looked at my leg yesterday. He says I broke a blood vessel and estimates up to a pint of blood is just sort of swimming around in my tissue in my thigh and knee. That also explains the swelling as in addition to the "loose" blood with no where to go, there is additional swelling due to normal body reaction to trauma and additional blood cells to speed recovery in the area.

He estimates 2, possibly 3 weeks before all is back to normal.

HATES IT.
