A little, but I probably have only iced it for like 30 minutes since it happened. I just hope it looks better than it does now when I go into work tomorrow

Sadly, that's not how injuries work.

When do you think it'll start looking better? Do you think it'll be worse in the morning?

Yup.

Like just the swelling or the bruising too? I was hoping all the bruising would at least have the decency to stay contained to my eyelid, but I'm worried it'll spread below my eye. What do you think?

It’s gonna get a tad worse before it gets better, just tell everyone at work you walked into a door as your new boyfriend sits in a dark corner slowly nodding his head

Haha, not in any relationship right now. I can't imagine having a black eye is going to help my chances either lol

Well, I've already seen blue, red, and purple. When do you think I'll see orange, yellow, and green?

I had a face injury last year on November. It kept swelling and generally sucked for like 2-3 days, then stayed swelled for like almost 2 weeks, and finally started noticeably going down.

Maybe yours isn't as bad as mine, but it'll definitely still be very swollen tomorrow.

How bad did yours look compared to mine? And how long did it last for?

I fell on my face waking my dog and it looked bad for a couple of weeks. Got really swollen. I bought an eye patch so I could go to work without people staring. Got to listen to lots of pirate jokes. Lol. Maybe you could try that?

About two weeks, you should be down to a nice sickly green color that can be covered with makeup
