My trainer got a black eye
I went to work out today with my trainer - DJ, and saw a black eye on her. She told me that when she went out with friends on Thurs night to Moe's (have no idea where that is), some chick punched her. The reason of the violent female is that supposely DJ give her (and her friends)dirty looks. Yikes... when did people become so sensitive about what other people think, and if anything, I really don't think violence is the way to go... anyway, does anyone knows a good way for black eye to go away quickly other than makeup?

oops, a black eye. i guess i am lucky since i always push people out of my face if im in a bad mood at a bar.
medically i dont think you can make the black eye "go away." its all the broken blood vessels that need to heal on their own.
she can use some soothing topical gels to calm the irritation. lightly massage it in. vitamin k helps clotting (make sure she's not warfarin!!) but i am not sure if it helps with black eye since the bruises ARE from tiny clots trying to form...
hmm...
-cold compresses to the eye for the first 24 hours
-warm compresses to the eye after the first 24 hours
-continued compresses until the swelling stops
-keep head elevated to help decrease the amount of swelling
-Don't take any aspirin based painkillers as they thin your blood taking the black eye longer to heal. Try Acetaminophenproducts like Tylenol instead.
-Eat pineapple and papaya (three times a day). Enzymes in the fruit can soften your bruise and make it easier heal.
haha.. i read it online.. emedicine
thanks, guys :) I will give her the directions and hopefully it will help.
