How do you think this felt?

Hey guys while reading through this board I got almost queasy reading some of the bad stuff you guys have endured. The knee thread hit home....never had work done on mine but for about a year decades ago I twisted it (both actually at different times) and it would lock up. Wore a brace. Fixed itself...oh they are not hooked well together but no pain. Anyway, here are some images to amuse you, they are the result of sheer stupidity. The first is of my knee...I ran into a big c clamp hooked to my electronics bench in the middle of the night. Dead on the knee cap. I think I "broke it". This was several days after the hit. Notice the round bruise that formed on the side of my knee. I do not bruise easily. I'm almost 57 and very skinny and boney.

The next pics are the result of my foot slipping off the kick starter of my CR 250. Hit the foot peg with my full body weight. Hit it so hard it did not even really hurt but I knew it was "bad". So I did exactly what anyone would do. I did not look at it and instead went and got the 300 out and rode for about an hour.

First image is what I saw that night when I got back and looked at it.
No ice, no pain stuff...it was "numb". Second image is the next evening. I then figured I should start icing it.
Took about 5 days to get back to normal (sort of) and as it did these purple bands formed on my leg and my heel turned purple.

Probably should have gone to a doctor?

Compared to stuff some of you have gone through my problems were trivial but amusing in the stupidity. Who in the Hell hurts them self starting the bike!?
