Black eye

Soot2006

Just tell the truth.



I had a black eye AND a bust lip a few years ago - DIY gone terribly wrong (seriously, in retrospect it was comedy gold, but at the time I thought my eye socket was fractured) ... I very quickly learned to tell the story in a funny/good way so when people asked I was v relaxed about it. Also, spent the weekend before work with ice packs, etc, and figured out how to use a bit of makeup to make it a little less severe. But it was a proper shiner ...

Care to explain your worries? I work with various different professionals on a daily basis, my worry about it being a care company is that if you were a parent and your son or daughters support worker turned up with a black eye, regardless of it being a controlled martial arts it would still show a negative.

Regardless of it being a sport some people see it as a negative (try telling my girlfriend it’s a sport ��)

Cutting out the care side, as a parent myself I would not like my child’s/family members support worker turning up black and blue, apologies for worrying I absolutely love my job and it’s my way of providing for my family so if anything was to ever risk that it’s an automatic response to worry and try to get out of the situation.

Did you mean to write that you would not want yourself as your family's support worker?
