"Sunday Morning Coming Down" The crosshead / Scotch arm atop the pump rod, on my solar driven pump. It came down alright, and on a digit in the wrong place. JUST missed the bone, took half the nail. At first view, I was LOOKING at the end of the bone. Just photoed at 60 hours since sustained,....I've gotta toss out a rave review for: " MicrocynAH (Animal Health) ...Wound and Skin Hrdrogel. ....All animal topical application to clean wounds, cuts,lacerations, abrasions, sores, & skin irritations. No alcohol,steroids, or antibiotics." Worked yesterday and today, and have been re-dressing funky finger with same, pretty often...gotta' tell ya this stuff is GREAT ! GTC

I hate fingertip injuries! What ever I do, I always seem to bang the affected digit.
That sounds like some good stuff, Greg. Where did you find it?

Ouch. Finger injuries suck. I'm still dealing with one received 5 months ago.

Local feed store, Ed. Everybody that's used it is pretty enthusiastic. If none over your way, I can fire some off. I heal really fast, but this is almost spooky,.... that sucker was lopped /pinched off dead SQUARE, with a 3/16" HOLE in the end,...as noted,the end of the bone visible . I let it bleed a bunch, 'til it clotted up on it's own, this was no crazy glue case. That's all new tissue, and there's just the tiniest of a vestige left of the "Hole". Know what you mean about bumping it,....I've lost a coupla' weeks religion on this one. Greg

Wrenched, welded, and millwrighted in the arctic and sub-arctic for many years. That finger's been frozen FAR too many times,....if I hold an ice cold beer for a minute, it turns pale, almost blue. Kind of a blessing now,...I'd expected it to hurt way worse,.... Sure as hell isn't going to throb because of built up pressure, either.

GTC Same exact thing happens to 8 of my ten fingers. Had frost bite or very near a couple of times. My feet used to get cold even in summer until I switched to Merino wool socks. Wear them year round and no cold feet. Years ago when we were first married we had a red convertible Celica and my fingers would turn pale and blue on an 80 degree day because of the cool air flow. Anyway thanks for the tip, I'll grab some at the farm store next visit. Hope you continue to heal fast.

I will be looking for some of that ointment. Thanks Not ointment,...sprays on wet, and than turns into a clear gel, cools and takes away "burn" RIGHT NOW,.....repeated spraying builds up a thick layer. 8 Oz. Spray bottle for $15.00 Beats the HELL outta' that purple "Wound Spray",....That stuff works, but MAN does it ever burn. I don't even want to think about that blood stopper powder,....

Godspeed for healing Cross, Gonna be tender for awhile. If you start licking yourself you'll know it was a bad idea......

Only thing that perplexes me is the fact yer other fingernails are so clean. Actually cleaned it up for the photo Scrubbing / Fingernail Brushing With an Injured Digit 101
* Cut a finger off of a Nitrile mechanic's glove * Secure tightly around base of injured digit * Wash, scrub, etc.
Caution: In the absence of a regular condom, do NOT anticipate this working very well as an emergency measure / substitute. Crossfire's health and wellness center promotes safe sex, and only patronage of chicks that carry their own condoms with em'.

Thanks for posting this. I'll get some of that stuff today! I could have used it many times in the past. I had an injury that looked like a lot that years ago on my left index finger that cut the nail completely in two and broke the bone. I'm sure you know you did the right thing by letting it bleed out.

Greg, is that stuff occlusive? I have heard ( though I don't know cause Im not a Doctor...but I stayed at a holiday Inn Express last night...) that occlusive ointments aren't good to put on digits. Doesn't let oxygen get in and could accelerate infection. If Im right, you'll know within a day, if not...Rock on! That looks like good stuff to me!

Vetricin is what we use on the horse, the dog and the humans in our house. I suspect it's similar stuff. It works great on all of us!
