Thumb *redux*

Since I don't go to the hand doctor until next week and no one at the office ever calls back I have a question:

How can you tell if your nail is gonna fall off. Following that, since the dead area is kinda a dry (on the outside) area protecting the other bits growing back... What happens to the nail as it gets pushed out? Will it lift the other stuff off and then I'll have a goey mess?

Shower thoughts today while cleaning the wound.

 

And because some will say :TTIWWP:

It looks to me like a fairly healthy nail bed. The dried pus/scab material will fall away or you can wash it off. My mother would have used hydrogen peroxide on that. The black necrotic tissue likely has new born tissue beneath. I wouldn't rush the process involved with that.

Nobody is gonna notice anything when it is all done healing.

It's getting better. Pain only when I'm dumb and hit it on something or I try to use it where it has to bend more than it wants to.

@road0315 it is both itchy as hell and weirdly numb, the leg or foots fallen asleep numb with pins and needles.

Not sure when that black part will shed, probably when it’s ready to and it’s healed up underneath.

The Dr did mention that'll happen in the next 4-6 months.

Yay.
