33 Years, Eight Days...

Naw, it was just the top couple layers. It's healing well. Tip is numb, but that's to be expected, what with the severing of nerves and all.
when it happened it went all the way down to the meat. What I saw when I removed the stitches was nothing compared to that.
And for good measure I've kept it well covered and doused in bacatracin.

Boy that sucks.
Hopefully you don't need to type a lot of Q's, A's, Z's or P's in the near future.
I've moved a few pool tables. Nothing worse then trying to get them up or down a flight of narrow steps. Hopefully all is healed up soon

Having been through the numbness thing after getting my fingertip slammed in a truck door (stitches? bah! a little gauze and and some tape and I'm golden (once the bleeding stopped 45 mins later)), I'll tell you this-unless you want that numbness to last your entire life, start tapping that finger as soon as the pain is bearable. It helps re-build the nerve connections-tap it against stuff you're standing near, rub it on rough surfaces (like cubicle walls, burlap, Berber carpet, fabric couches)-basically anything you can do to stimulate the nerves in that finger. Three years later and I have a good 95% sensation in that site, doubt it will ever get any better. I know a guy who injured his hand about six months after I did, didn't listen to the doctor on the tapping thing, he's still got numbness and random pain.
On the injury thing, never had a broken bone in my body until I started Hapkido about a year ago-two broken fingers and 3 or 4 broken toes (lost count) since then. Lotsa stitches growing up as a kid, though. Head ones from rock fights, once got a snow shovel in the forehead, fell off a slide and landed on a bolt, sliced my finger up while trying to cut a stick (stupid, stupid), ran into a fire door in college, glasses first (nice circular scar under my eye from that one)-all sorts of fun stuff like that.
