It hurt!

Yesterday, while lighting the fireplace, I caught my finger between two logs. It immediately started to swell and turn purple, the pain was so severe that I thought I had broken it. I immediately applied ice and then I realized that I could move my finger well, but today it still hurts and it has this color that you can see in the photo.

I'm applying an ointment for the bruises but I think it will take a few days for this color to disappear.

It rained a lot yesterday so I didn't leave the house but I ended up getting hurt. Most accidents happen at home, right?

That does look painful. Nice nails by the way. We do have to be careful.

Today it is a little bit better but yesterday it hurt a lot. Thank you, I did my nails for Christmas, it's time to remove this nail polish and get a new one.

Maybe you should continue to apply the ice on the spot. It will help reduce the swelling and alleviate the pain

Accidents can happen at home frequently - when you least expect it. The color should right itself in a couple of days.

It will take a few days for your bruise to heal. I broke my little finger and it healed crooked.

We cook our own food and therefore it's natural we sometimes meet with accidents at home and hurt ourselves.

In ancient times, if their hands hit a piece of wood or even got burned, they would use toothpaste so they wouldn't get bruised all the time.

If it hurts a lot, apply an ice pack. That usually helps with deep bruises like that. Hope it's better soon.
