For some reason or another, I always seem to be getting hurt. It hasn’t ever been too bad (no broken bones or life threatening complications) but it’s usually enough to ruin an otherwise good day. I live in Chicago working for jimmy johns, delivering on my bike, and I ride every where else I go. I first took pictures of my bruises when I got in an accident on my bike, and have made a habit of it since. So why not post them all here so that you can see all the injuries i manage to sustain? Maybe it will make you feel a little better about your life, or maybe you will just feel amazement at the amount of times I manage to get hurt a week. Anyway, once it’s happened, posting here it can’t hurt :)Tumblr (3.0; @kolleenwithaksinjuries)http://kolleenwithaksinjuries.tumblr.com/<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l8ifgdkM0T1qddq0xo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>close of up my knee</p> <p>gross…</p>http://kolleenwithaksinjuries.tumblr.com/post/1095005954http://kolleenwithaksinjuries.tumblr.com/post/1095005954Thu, 09 Sep 2010 22:41:01 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l8iferoLgp1qddq0xo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>even my ankles!</p>http://kolleenwithaksinjuries.tumblr.com/post/1095001303http://kolleenwithaksinjuries.tumblr.com/post/1095001303Thu, 09 Sep 2010 22:40:03 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l8ifcxLUz41qddq0xo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>elbow scrape</p>http://kolleenwithaksinjuries.tumblr.com/post/1094995607http://kolleenwithaksinjuries.tumblr.com/post/1094995607Thu, 09 Sep 2010 22:38:56 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l8ifblDasQ1qddq0xo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>I’m so scrapped up!</p>http://kolleenwithaksinjuries.tumblr.com/post/1094991733http://kolleenwithaksinjuries.tumblr.com/post/1094991733Thu, 09 Sep 2010 22:38:09 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l8if98nsQT1qddq0xo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Today I was on my way to work, riding down some roads that don’t usually have much traffic so I was not really paying attention… this car cut me off and I had to swerve to avoid it and somehow my foot slipped off the pedal, I kicked my wheel and once again ended up on the ground. This is the result from that. And because it’s on my knee it wouldn’t stop bledding and bled all day at work. wonderful…</p>http://kolleenwithaksinjuries.tumblr.com/post/1094984835http://kolleenwithaksinjuries.tumblr.com/post/1094984835Thu, 09 Sep 2010 22:36:44 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l8if27ZoAa1qddq0xo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>bruise on my right leg from my seat or possibly the top bar?</p>http://kolleenwithaksinjuries.tumblr.com/post/1094964171http://kolleenwithaksinjuries.tumblr.com/post/1094964171Thu, 09 Sep 2010 22:32:31 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l8if0gy2AJ1qddq0xo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>bruise/scrape on my left leg from my pedal</p>http://kolleenwithaksinjuries.tumblr.com/post/1094959009http://kolleenwithaksinjuries.tumblr.com/post/1094959009Thu, 09 Sep 2010 22:31:24 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l8ieynJhBj1qddq0xo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>OK so, on monday my friend Mark and I decided to go bike from Chicago to my parents house in Crystal Lake, about 60 miles away. Everything went great and then when we were 2 blocks from my parents house I tried to wave to my Dad and sister and some how ended up on the ground in the middle of the road.
