I gotta go to Knoxville tomorrow to see the finger doctor. I've injured my hands and fingers so many times over the years. Cuts, burns, smashed fingers, etc. This injury is different. It feels like it's been crushed. Numb, swollen, can't bend it. I'm already wishing I would have had the damn thing lopped off at the first joint.

How big was the incision from the surgery? Does it get close to a joint?
I deal with cuts packed with oil, grease and other car nastiness quite regularly and don't have an issue.

It doesn't look like a big deal. Just feels really messed up.

Appreciate that I know most guys here feel the same. I'll get through whatever it is I have to. Got alot to be thankful for. Feel fortunate for the surgeon and the nurses I had today. They were great.

That's good to hear. The right people, in the right place make a world of difference.

That looks pretty nasty. Hopefully it gets to feeling better. Don't go cutting it off just yet give it time. Maybe it severed the nerve in there. I cut mine in half quarter bouncing moonshine after the keg went dry. Being young and dumb waited to long for them to sew it backon half of it has no feeling but it's there. Which is great.

Definitely agree with Gunner on that Randy.
Give it some more time.
My finger tips have been cut up pretty bad over the years. My wife tells me they feel like they are made of plastic.
I burn mine, alot. Everything is hot, and everything needs it's temp checked or to be worked on quick smart. You get used to it ay.
