feeling a lot more stable about everything, i decided to forego keeping a bandaid on because my fucking skin cannot take the adhesives for that long omg itches so bad around them

I have a plan in place to replace the bandaids should i require not needing to see my elbow again about it, but i also wanted to see for myself how bad it was.

BOY HOWDY do I bruise purty. That shit is dark where it's not already going greenyellow. looks like I put a sharpie in a chokehold and barely managed to wrangle it into submission like damn.

#i am probably going to have us put on a replacement bandage over the bruising because it's honestly yeah a little distressing to see #but i no longer feel like it's going to explode open and spurt blood everywhere if i'm not careful and that's important #this would be easier if we were like one solid continuous consciousness but unfortunately we're not #and for anyone who wasn't there during the cause of the Visible Injury having a visible injury suddenly be a lot worse #than what you were anticipating based on what the last person who looked at it remembers (let alone was just expecting in general) #(because lets face it i've not bruised this badly after a poke before. i think the closest was the IV for sedation before i got my #wisdom teeth taken out) and if you're maybe significantly younger than most of the rest of the soup in the bowl at the time it can y'know #freak a guy out a little which is what happened yesterday/last night #i'm glad i'm not navigating this without the context of being several opossums in a trenchcoat because that would be i think even more #distressing than it already has been. it keeps embarrassment for uncharacteristic freakouts to a minimum at least #gonna try and let it breathe for a bit and just kind of chill out with the elbow exposed a little to hopefully help #both with like acclimation to the sight and also maybe the cool air will help it feel better. #but also like i just cannot do that much bandage adhesive on my skin for that long it is so itchy around where i was wearing them augh #doesn't help my upper arm where my vaccines went look like i got bit by the worlds largest skeeter like damn #miecz posting #garrett posting
