Ooh, it's going to be one of *those* days, isn't it? Ultra clumsy Darcy to the rescue! This morning at the gym I was on an elliptical machine and reached forward to change the display. The moving handhold part hit the back of my arm right above my elbow and hurt like hell. There's an impressive purple-red bruise there now. Later I was headed to the car on the way to work, carrying an apple in one hand and my keys in the other. Somehow I stabbed my keys into the apple trying to get into the car. Once at work I stepped one foot out of the car, not realizing the entire parking lot has an unseen glaze of ice on it. My foot went out from under me when I was halfway up and I smacked the back of my head into the top of the car door frame. And it's only 8:27 am! Ooh boy, I can't wait to see what the rest of the day brings =)
Update at 3 pm -- I was standing for a while at my bench, and noticed my right upper thigh starting to ache. It hurts to walk normally and I have a bit of a hop-limp going on now. I think I have a spontaneous groin pull. I'm going the ibuprofen-ice-stretching route and hopefully it'll be better tomorrow. At least it sounds funny, try saying it outloud and see if you don't smile. Spontaneous Groin Pull. Bwahaha!
Update later on -- I figured out how I strained my adductor muscle. When I slipped getting out of the car, my weight shifted suddenly and my right leg compensated. I realized this when I got out of the car running errands and pushed up on my right leg to step out. Ouch! For some reason I feel like this is a really stupid muscle strain to have, far more than a hamstring or pec or something.
