Black and Blue

I've been understanding the meaning of being "black and blue". I am the lucky receiver of daily shots. Because of my surgery, I have to take medicine to make my blood thiner. So now, I have a beautiful bruises collection on my right leg. Some of them are more yellow and green, but anyway... I guess it's God's way of helping get over my needle phobia. And it's working (almost!). I still can't do it myself, but at least I've been able to look and not faint, which is already a huge step forward :)
