I shouldn't even be typing right now, but a month ago I got a pretty decent bang on my middle finger at work, hurt like a SOB and oh yeah of course the nail turns black and it was a sore sucker but then it started feeling better and healing up.
The new nail about half grown in, feeling ok
then it happened today... wrestling a heavy plaster mold down the steps to the basement I wound up half falling down the last 3 steps and in the process sort of scrape-whacked THAT finger not a different one- THAT one- between the plaster mold and the hard stone wall.
Oh man, it scraped the skin down to the cuticle and now several hours later it's still throbbing and the new nail looks a little dark.
To make it worse, I had to cast 150# of concrete in that mold, put on some rubber globes and start mixing it in the rubber tub, all was fine till the point just past the point where the rubber glove on my other hand got a tear in it and the nail on that middle finger jammed against some hardened concrete on the bottom of the rubber tub and broke part of the nail off, now I'm in agony!
And gee, I have build two wood shipping crates this weekend and pack them too.
That's all the typing I'm doing for now, good night!
