I made it through the blood draw, which doway has a HUGE black bruise where they stuck me...It looks worse than my fall scrapes, for sure.
Last night, it was hard to sleep, because every movement, every shift in weight hurt my chest.
I got up, took some tylenol, and slapped some Salonpas patches on a few places.
Today I smell like Ben gay ( Salonpas patches have that same wintergreen scent), have the huge black bruise where they took the blood, and am a bit achy, but already lots better!
I didn't even lose a drop of blood in the fall, the scrapes were red, but didn't bleed. Al in all, I'm pretty proud that I caught myself and didn't hurt anything severely. I remember that last big fall where I hurt my wrist about 6 years back, and had to wear a cast from my elbow to my hand!
Anyway, I wasn't even embarrassed. I just sat up, took inventory of everything realized I was okay, and finished my trip to the lab, then back to the store. YAY ME!
