Yo!

yo bruiseOn Fridays I go to see the acupuncturist. He’s been helping me, in conjunction with the chiropractor, heal from sciatica.

This past Friday, he was removing the needles when my shoulder started tickling. So I rubbed it with my hand and felt something dripping. “Something’s dripping?” I said. “Oh. It’s just blood. Let me wipe that off for you,” he said.

I looked at my hand, and sure enough my finger was covered in blood. How weird.

As he wiped my shoulder with alcohol, he said, “It looks like I gave you a bruise. It’ll go away in a couple of days.”

Sure enough, I felt a small lump in my shoulder and it started aching like I had had a tetanus shot. When I got up Saturday morning, I found that not only had the bruise grown — it spelled out a word!

Can you see it? It says, “Yo”. Which I think is a hoot! Yo! I guess I’m hipper than I thought. Probably not. 🙂
