it could take a while, but to help speed it up, use ice (20 minutes on then at least 10 minutes off.. don't keep it on too long) and put a raw potato on your skin (cut it in half and use the juicy part) then after the swelling has gone down and the bruise has stopped expanding (should be in a day or two) you can start to apply heat pads or warm water cloths to speed healing... don't use heat until it has stopped expanding/swelling because if you do you will make the bruise bigger!

It will look better by Sunday, but probably take a week or two to fully heal. Good Luck! :)

Eat lots of pineapple and papaya. They contain certain qualities that actually help reduce bruising. If its still bad, think of a really intriguing story as to how you got it and go with it, Babe!

Personally I would of checked that out with a doctor...you might have other problems going on.
Just throw something cold on it...and be aware of signs for other problems extended from your injury.
