A Multitude of Bruises

Write about a bruise.
There are many kinds of bruises. Bruises that turn black and blue when you first get them and then fade to a light brown or tan as they heal. There are bruised feelings which occur at various times through out one's life. Some bruises are forgotten almost as soon as they are heal. Some bruises you don't remember how you got them. Some bruises remain with you forever.
Two of the worst bruises I ever had occurred several years apart. One was the results of closing my finger in a car door. I still don't have any feeling in the tip of that finger. The other was the results of stepping on a nail when I was chasing a chicken. Actually, I think it was a rooster I was chasing. Anyway I drove myself to the hospital ER and got a shot.
Yes, I drove myself. It was my right foot that I stepped on the nail. So driving myself the few blocks to the hospital was an exercise in pain. I've know two other people who drove themselves to the hospital ER after hurting themselves and both were women. One was my mother, who (several years ago) cut her hand with a broken glass while washing dishes. The other was a friend who broke her leg when she feel on the golf course and drove herself to the ER.
That sounds like an interesting event to include in a story. The character drives herself to the hospital after getting hurt. Maybe a flash fiction, written from the main character's point f view and describing her feelings.
