Thread Name: BS: The physics of a fall
Subject: RE: BS: The physics of a fall
Well, it sure FELT like the impact was focused! And I saw my regular doc today, one week later, and he said just to watch for infection if the little scrape riding like a flea on an elephant on top of the swelling gets red.
But he agreed with my theory that it was the lipostatic pressures as the energy whoomed around inside my leg that caused the huge swelling and bruising... so I'm wondering, if I were thin and still weighed this much, same fall, do you think it would have broken the bone? Never been so happy to be padded!
