Close to a week of feeling something just not right on the upper left arm I took a look and found a yellowish smear. Bruising is my guess and hope, there in the middle of it all is a thin shaft of reddened skin. The doctor must have taken out the needle and scratched my arm as he was trying some deft manoeuvre in that instant where the alcohol soaked cotton ball is swapped with a bandaid. At least in this case I didn't die from it and there is reason for the slight pain. Or the skin is drunk from the swab of alkihol.
