the hardest part of the week is behind you.

I fell a couple of years ago, and my knee stayed swollen and bruised for over 8 months. When I would bend it it felt like someone/something was touching it. They just kept telling me that the only thing wrong was a bad bruise. I ended up twisting my ankle and falling on concrete right on the bruise. It swelled up even more for about two weeks. When it started going down, it went all the way down and all the old bruising that had been there for over 8 months went away as the new cleared up.
