OW, OW, OW, OW, OW!! I learned today that female skin is a lot more easily damaged than male skin, and it hurts a lot more.
I was getting ready to dump a garden cart loaded with rocks over the edge of the driveway. Unfortunately, it got too close to the edge and rolled away on me. (Silly me, I should have chocked the wheels!) The smart but expensive thing to do would have been to let go and let the cart get smashed to smithereens. Instead, I tried to control it, and got my shins banged for my trouble. Nothing broken, just some abrasions and contusions, but damn, that hurt!
I still have scars from the last time I banged my shins. Now I have a matched set.
