States that it was gnarly looking. The bruise was still sore, but not as tender. She can still feel where she got the injection if she touches it. The patient stated that if the second dose was going to be anything like this first one, she doesn't want it. States that all this started 20 minutes after getting the shot and her job made her get right back on the line and keep working.
