I got a tube of arnica salve to help speed up the healing. It'll come in handy anyway, since I do bruise very easily, though rarely this spectacular.

Oh, gad, yes. I'm fish-belly-white, as they say and you can use my body for an anatomy class on vascular stuff. They can find my veins readily. I know the feeling--you go for blood work or whatever and then you look like a junkie for the rest of the week. :-)
If you also bruise easily (me, me me!), it can take days for the bruise to go away if you get a nurse or phlebotomist (yup, that's what not-nurse drawers are called) that is ham-handed.
