Apparently, if you have a scar, you don’t bruise there. Scars are about 80% as strong as flesh that has never been torn into the deep tissues. The scar on my navel is still numb, and it’s 16 years old this June. It didn’t bruise with the surrounding tissue. I knew this from text books, but I had never saw it in real life before. Most of the patients I dealt with were psych patients, and while they had scars from cutting, none of the scars were as deep as a piercing scar and they weren’t bruised over their scars.
It’s interesting that it didn’t change colour, nevertheless. Normally, the scar is a shade of purple darker than the surrounding tissue. But not lately!

For anyone worried, I am going to make an appointment to see Doc Dan (he sent me fifty Beatles songs! Woot! He must have read my Twitter complaint) tomorrow. I also have to take my lab exam tomorrow (I was supposed to take it Friday) or get an F for the lab final exam, and that would cause me not to pass my class that I have worked so hard to pass this semester. Think warm thoughts! I sure need them!
They hauled my dead car away today. When I say “they” I mean whoever paid $4000 for the parts in it. It was brand-new in 2007, and I’m still dead-set on never having another car again. New or used. I didn’t deal with them clearing it out. I just sat in the kitchen, bagging my defective laptop battery, and waiting for a ride to the Apple store.
On this cloudy spring day, my car has officially gone to Car Heaven. It died if its injuries and an autopsy was performed on it shortly after death. Today its usable ‘organs’ were harvested and the remains put to rest at a junk yard. *tears* That was a bad eulogy.
I have some new bruises pop up. I assume these are from the police kicking me. They weren’t there while I was in the hospital, but my husband saw them last night and freaked out. Normally calm and grateful for what he has, my husband was postal and wanted to kick the ass of the cop who did this to me. To be honest, I don’t remember what really happened at the accident scene, so I told him to ignore it. He won’t do that. I know him well. His dad told me not to tell him anything anymore. Well, that’s a start, right?

Oh, and my navel looks funny because I used to have a piercing there. My mom tore it out when I was 13. She thought it was a fake. It wasn’t. And I now have a sideways navel, with scar tissue where the piercing was. Joy.
I got my new laptop battery today. So I’m going to go enjoy myself and play the Sims 2 or something constructive until dinner time. My man’s making grilled burgers for dinner. Yummers.

Happy Easter everyone! I am so glad to be home to celebrate Easter, even though I had some trouble with the eggs last night. It took 30 minutes to dye an Easter egg pink! Oh well. I also woke up to my laptop battery warped and swollen, and I’ve made an appointment with the Apple store to go in tomorrow at noon and get it worked out. My computer is still under warranty, so hopefully I’ll just be able to get in, trade out the battery for a new one, and get out.







Oh, and I’m feeling much better today. I might not need any pain killers tonight!
