Massive bruise days before going on holiday ☹️

[CitationNeeded]

I have a giant bruise (approx 15cm diameter I reckon) on the back of my thigh. I go away on Thursday for a long weekend- beach, sun lounger etc.

I know it’s silly, but I’m so upset. It’s because I’m on anticoagulant medication, it’s a possible haematoma (?) as it appeared from nowhere on Monday with a lump. Dr says it’s healing but could take weeks.

It is huge and black/purple. I’d bought a new bikini an everything. Now not sure I can bring myself to even wear shorts. I feel like wearing long dresses and trousers the whole time 🙁.

I don’t do make up really- but if eyeliner and mascara. Camouflage make up seems really complicated (and expensive).

Laugh it off. Say "You should have seen the other guy!"

Ha! Lots is going on. Buying a house, work stress. And my bloody heart letting me down (means I have to stop exercising for while, and running is so good for my mental health).

I have good support. I told DP and he said it in no way affects his attraction to me, and to stop being daft (said kindly, that’s how we talk to each other).

I don’t do fake tan- I am VERY pale, like blue, and fake tan never works and just makes me look like an oompah lumpah 😂.
