Saw stars for a bit, but, ultimately it didn't hurt as bad as it looked. The guy that owned the place gave me a towel with cold water and it bled pretty good for about five minutes, but, then I patched it up, and, seeing as I was only ten minutes into my hour of court time ($18 for two people!) I elected to suck it up, finish the game and played two more*. When I got home, my wife said it didn't look too good, and, after I called a nurse hotline, they "strongly recommended" I get it looked at.
It looks a lot like those puffy skin split gashes you see white boxers get under their eyes after the fifth round or so. about a half inch wide and the usual black, yellow, purple bruise. here's a PG pic:
*I won all three games.
