Shiner

1. Black Eye

I woke up at 5:20 am to make it to an exercise class. One of the exercises we do is back extensions on a machine like this:




When I got on the contraption, I missed the hook where my feet go. I landed on the floor and I hit that bar smack dab on my face.

The camera doesn't do it justice but this is what I have so far:








The trainer mentioned I should go home to ice it. My first thought was, "NO WAY, I'm not waking up this early and missing the work out." He let me stay and I did the workout the best that I could, throbbing head and all. It actually felt worse when I got home because I wasn't moving. Andy stayed home for a few hours so I could ice it. I wonder if the blood will drain and I'll have a black and blue eye. If it gets worse, I'll be sure to post!
