R Lower Leg, Impact wound / trauma

2013-01-03 – 2013-02-22

Grade: 3

I was doing box jumps as part of the workout and missed! I came down directly on my right shin and split it wide open! To. The. Bone!

I went to Urgent Care and they fixed it up with 10 stitches! It throbs and stings a bit but the bone is intact, the muscle on the front of the shin is fine and as long as it doesn't get infected I'll be alright.

The scab finally fell off and now it's just doing it's final healing. I'm going to have a wicked boomerang shaped scar though!
