Red Cross – Purple Arm

I donated blood on Thursday, and apparently the lady tweaked a nerve and punctured the vein straight through. My elbow has completely filled with blood/bruise. As of Saturday afternoon my elbow as Barney Purple. It’s starting to dissipate but it’s also spreading. It looks worse now.
