As a kid, I bruised all the time, very easily. Nowadays, I don’t bruise at all, with some exceptions.
I broke my toe about a week ago, as in literally snapped the bone in half and ended up with one piece almost a centimeter out of alignment. And yet, no bruise. Not even the slightest sign of one.
Now, the exception is if I’ve been drinking. I broke that same toe 2 years ago while I was drunk and it basically turned black.
I don’t know why I would bruise normally when drinking, but never bruise at all when sober. Is it possible I am bruising and it’s just not visible for whatever reason?
There was a time when I bruised the normal amount. Then I joined a martial art class that had me repeatedly getting punched, kicked, twisted and flipped onto wooden floor boards. After six months of that, I stopped bruising at all. Even now, decades after I stopped practicing martial arts.
