Wow, really glad you are OK!
On the plus side, those kinds of "war wounds" are always popular with young boys...you have probably gone up 50% in their estimation just for your new gnarly look!

You're still a beauty.
Try arnica gel on your bruises. Makes them go away faster.
Here's hoping you heal quickly.
