The pain was deep for a while, esp in the early minutes of the cut. I washed it out with antiseptic stuff, and that really ate a hole in my head from the pain. I saw in the medicine cabinet some sore throat spray meant to numb your throat and kill bacteria when you have a bad cold. I used it! Ahhhhh! After getting all the peices put back together and taped in place the pain was less intense. I could focus once again.

I have pain pills galore here at the house, and can take my pick. I took some extra helpers and now its just really quite sore. If I bang it, stretch it or try to do normal things with it, I am reminded quickly about how deep this thing actually is. I will surely lose the nail in the end, but for now, it made a perfect cap for the wound.

The things we do to avoid the ER, yes? Im not going there, unless I am spurting blood and need the thing sewn back on.
