Hi Slave_Poodle

Sorry to hear about your recent experience....D/s relationships can be tricky sometimes, in terms of the feelings between the participants (love, respect, caring etc) juxtaposed, at times, with some fairly 'harsh' treatment...this is bound to cause some fleeting moments of 'god, what have I done??'. Whilst this may be disturbing for both you and your Master when it happens; providing he gets over it, it is actually, IMHO not an entirely bad thing as it demonstrates some level of humanity and regard for you. Naturally however, i can understand that it must have been very distressing for both you and him and in that regard i would concur with TG in that all you can do is offer him reassurance that you are okay, both physically and emotionally speaking.

On an entirely pratical note, in terms of your quite severe bruising, i can strongly recommend a homeopathic remedy called 'arnica' (you should be able to get it at most decent pharmacists)....it is available in both cream and tablet form.

Hope this helps.
