Pluggers by Rick McKee for December 14, 2012

Oh yeah, been there and done that – many times…

We all know he got those bruises from the kangaroo lady A.K.A Mistress Carol and her dungeon of “pleasure”.

Eat more kale. It sure helps me.

Or the bruises under your fingernails. Got one on my thumb right now!

then I must have been a senior plugger most of my life. since I bruise very easily. too easily. even more so since I went thru chemo.

I just tell my wife she beats me in her sleep!

Or, you participate in a lot of drunken brawls.

As a buddy of mine once said, "I see that you’re a member of the ‘Purple Spot Club’ ".

I guess I’ve been a “senior” since I was in elementary school..

Around 60 they magically appear out of nowhere…..

Usually too much aspirin, Coumadin and/or other blood-thinners that put us in the Purple Skin Club. Aging causes paper-thin skin and so the spots result. Not for me at 78, but them dam ‘phlebotomists’ (vampires) are walking Claymores…

That was pop. That is mom. I am sure to be there soon…

That’s been happening to me for years now. I’d bang a body part (like my knee, shin, hip, etc.) on something and think: “Wow! That’s really going to leave a mark!” (bruise) and am surprised when it doesn’t. Other times, mysterious bruises will sometimes appear here and there out of nowhere and I can’t remember hitting that area on anything recently.

Or you have CLL, a form of Leukemia. This sort of thing is very common.

I love going to the doctor and getting the raised eyebrow of “does your husband beat you” from my bruises. I have no idea where they come from. I bruise easy, I’m a klutz and I own large dogs. ’nuff said.

in my case I have high functioning autism. in some circles it is called aspergers. due to it, I’m a bit clumsy. so what I said about my bruises is correct. not only do I bruise easily. but I can not recall where most of them came from.
