[Story] A thing fell on my arm and caused a bruise.

While organizing the shelves last night

Something fell on my arm.

There were no particular injuries at that time.

I noticed a bruise today.

There is also pain when touched on the arm.

 

 

Originally, bruises didn't usually form well.

It looks a little bluish.

I'm worried that the bruise will get worse tomorrow.

 

I hardly have any memories of bruising from before.

I don't remember anything other than falling hard and hitting my knee so badly that it bruised.

You say you get bruises just from dropping things slightly..

It seems that as you get older, bruises also happen more easily.
