    So, now when your on and you are mumbling some weird crap, and we have no idea what you're talking about, we can blame the drugs, right?  LOL

    Right? Smile I react pretty strongly to vicodin, and DH said that I was singing merrily in the car the whole way home.  It makes me really flighty and a little sleepy. 

    Ottoluv, I'll take your advice about going for a follow-up in a couple days.  I'm vaugely worried about it, because the bruising has gotten darker since I went to the ER.  Can bruises change like that?

    They absolutely can!! Bruises go through a variety of colors as they heal and you frequently look more banged up a day after the injury then the actual day of the injury. Usually they start bluish, get bright purple, then turn green, and finally yellow. It is just from your body digesting the blood. Maximum swelling happens 72 hours after injury so it's normal to get more swollen over the first few days.
