Bruised Not Broken

Mike's been hobbling around all week from a re injury of an incident from a soccer game 2 weeks ago. I have little sympathy for all his soccer bodily harm since he seems to have something happen to him almost every game but still plays as much as he possibly can (usually 2 games a week). However, even I have to admit this is a doozy.

After 2 trips to 2 doctors and me chauffeuring him around for a week, we've found out that is only a muscle injury and will heal on it's on within a couple of weeks. The immense swelling of his quad was due to fluid....a few days later we saw the result of the injury through a bruise covering almost his whole quad. This photo was taken a day AFTER the worst of the bruising and, in my opinion, looks far better than it looks in person.

OUCH!!
