Massive bruise

Bruises are haematoma’s which are caused by broken blood vessels and unfortunately you just have to wait until they basically drain themselves. As we get older we bruise more easily and it doesn’t help if, like me, you are a natural bleeder!

...or on anticoagulants!

Allira It was the last pistachio that had not opened. I won't be doing that again!

I prise them open with my fingers! Sometimes it works.

So glad you've gone back to your 🏊 swimming, Sally, it will help to lift your spirits while you heal.
Bruise take their own time, I slipped coming out of the bath some years ago and ended up with a massive bruise like the map of France 🇫🇷 on my derriere, it took weeks to heal.

Glad to hear that you are seeing your doctor about your faint. Take care, lots of good advice on here for you. 🥰
