Well, I finally have the nerve to show everyone. I took a major fall and slid down my deck steps when they were wet LAST week. I am okay but moving VERY slowly. I also scraped up my back and knocked the wind right out of my sails. Still can't sit on one side yet (the cheek so I sit a bit with a slant). Here is a picture of my butt for your viewing pleasure.... (keep in mind that these bruises are over a week old so just imagine....)

Holy Crap, you have a nice a$$! Oh, and those bruises look brutal. OUCH!

Jenna, it looks like you were expecting to still have the old padding catch you. You are looking very thin by the way....~Mandy

Ouch!!! That looks incrediblely painful! However, I agree with Kathy....nice butt to have such ugly bruises on, lol!!!!!!!

Yowza!!! :puke: That there is a fine example of OUCH!

(and I agree with the others... nice backside! No cellulite or anything! :clap2: LOL)

Well, I guess the verdict is official. You have a fine a$$ and some seriously painful looking bruises. You poor thing, that must have really hurt.

Ouch! You must have hit the edge of something very hard. At least the bruises match your panties.

Awww, thanks. I credit the butt crunches for the shape though. That makes me feel good especially since I gained back 5 lbs. Band is a little loopy lately. Tight one minute, open the next.

I think you are right though, I was thinking I had more padding and I would have bounced back up just pissed off rather than writhing in pain at the bottom of the deck steps. Oh, by the way, have I told you that our deck is about 15 feet off of the ground?

And THIS bruising was after a week and 1/2!!

But wanna know the funny thing? The way I have to sit now (on one cheek) makes me remember the days of not fitting into chairs with arms well (during my heaviest) and having to sit sort of sideways.

Oh you poor thing! :puke:

OUCH! I've been there! I fell down a flight of stairs and hit my butt against one of the steps. Those bruises aren't going to heal quickly...mine lasted for over a month. You can try Arnica for the bruising. It's homeopathic and really helps with the bruising. Those who've had PS might have been told to try it for the swelling/bruising.

I might do that. Where do I get it? Walmart or Walgreens have it? It is actually "dented" and swollen still. It feels "hard" across the bruise area. I always wanted a hard a$$ but not THIS way. :puke:

you can purchase arnica at a health food store that sell homopathics.

And wow that looks painful!! and nice butt!

Ouch! That looks painfull! Hope you feel better soon!

Ok, you have to share the butt crunch excercise secret!!!

Sorry about your butt cut!

LOL, ok fine, it's not a cut but bruise doesn't rhyme.

You do have a purty booty tho. I'm way jealous!!! Go on girl with the booty crunches!!!

Wow! That sucks...ALOT, however I do wish my butt was as small as yours.
