Somehow this week, I managed to get a splinter or other foreign object under the nail of my forefinger. Needless to say, it makes typing quite difficult.
I had Man do some digging – literally – while I tried hard not to scream like a banshee. My nail is cut way back to the quick so he could get to … whatever it was or is in there. I’m still in some serious pain. I’m hoping he got whatever was in there but I’m not entirely convinces. Especially since I’m still in pain.
If this doesn’t stop soon, it’s to the doctor I go. I really want to avoid that because amputation might be involved.
Okay, that’s extreme but you know what I mean. Needless to say, I got no words in last night. In fact my finger is going numb as I type this.
TGIF. Gaw.
Make sure you soak it in warm soapy water a couple of times a day. That will both help work out anything that might be left in the wound and soothe it a bit AND prevent infection.
…and add a dollop of Dawn or other dishsoap in there–the concentrated form will kill germs. (This from a nurse).
I hope it’s okay!!!
This made my fingers hurt! OUCH, I hope it gets better soon:)
Ooh, that doesn’t sound good. I hope the splinter is out and it’s better soon. If the soaking doesn’t work, see the doctor!
