Well these aren't very good pics since they are from my phone, but you can kinda see how purple my hands were. These were from IV's in my hands that didn't turn out quite as intended. I was really dehydrated and 2 nursing students were trying their first IV in my right hand but accidentally broke the vein so the nurse took over and broke the one in my left hand haha. They ended up having to put it on the inside of my elbow. It was totally worth the pain to sport such awesome bruises!
