It's not a toomah!

I've been on and off crutches for a few weeks now. It was just over three weeks ago that I dislocated my kneecap and made my back to Los Angeles with a nifty cast. The recovery is going really well, but I do keep the crutches around to help my balance and just in case I get stuck in a chair that doesn't have arms.

Tonight, I was looking at my arm and was wondering what was wrong with it. My forearm had this really bizarre bump on it near my elbow. It didn't hurt or anything, it just seemed to pop up out of nowhere. Then I looked at my other arm and noticed the same thing. Hmm... that bump doesn't hurt either. Now that's just weird, right?

Then as I grabbed one of my crutches, I noticed that the little bump came up bigger. Yes, apparently I have so little upper-body strength that I didn't recognize a muscle when I developed one. Nice. At least it's not a toomah!
