I've successfully moved from bed to couch and applying a heat compress to a couple of bruises on my leg. You ever completely forget how you acquire bruises? Scary.

Fairly frequently. Until I worked out that I was hitting my shins on my bike pedals every time I started off after a traffic light. One doesn't bruise, but 3 or 4 in a row does create a bruise. Upper thigh bruises were desk corners at my office. Changed the way I move through space and problem disappeared. Arnica works.

Desk corners are the devil. I suspect that was what it was but it's just incredible how the memory seems to be completely wiped from my brain almost instantly.

I have multiple small bruises on my upper arms and one just below my boobs, have no recollection of getting them but I know they are from work.

Goodness. That sounds hectic. Hope they go away soon.

I have a bruise on my hand that I found yesterday and I just... have no idea how it got there.

So yeah... happens quite often.

Good to know it's not unusual and not just me

My main nemesis is lever door knobs. I’ve near constantly got a ding either just below my elbow or on my hip from the damn things.

I don't know how it happens but I've heard of door knobs giving people black eyes too
