Bruises, or lack thereof
« on: 23/04/2007 15:33:06 »
Last night I was out eating some dinner and when I climbed into the booth I smoked my knee off of the corner of the bench. I hit it so hard the table shook. Yet this morning, no bruise. In fact I think I've only had 3 or 4 bruises since I was 13. Thereis a small welt however. Is this normal? Do I have really strong blood vessels? What is going on??

...muscles work well, skin is compact, little vessels are strong, platelets and sticky proteins fill the holes.  It seems that you are well fit (& young!), don't be surprised and try to avoid major traumas anyway!

Hmm.. I get a bruise, but not that much. Any hard hit, will give me a light bruise [;)]

You definitively need a BRUISOMETER to solve all your doubts!  [;D]
