This is not meant to be!!

I cut my nail after my shower yesterday. Aaaaah, this made me happy!!

Can we have more pictures?

Can we have more pictures?

Hah, sure!! It’s barely looking grim at all now! You can’t see but a lot of the skin has peeled off, especially on the pad of my finger. All in all it’s looking very healthy! And, look! I have almost normal knuckle wrinkles on my main joint, too! I can bend that to 90 degrees now, which is aces.

I can appreciate the artistry of all your gory wore wound photos including a perfectly placed Labrador in the background.

 

[snowbunny]

I still have lots of congealed blood under the nail which is stuck on very stubbornly, despite giving it a good soaking every time I shower.

This one shows the split nail off nicely

Shame it wasn’t the guilty party

Oi, there was no warning for us squeamish lot

I put off looking at the very first photo for two days expecting it to be horrific.... then I was pleasantly surprised when I eventually opened it!
That's looking excellent Fiona, I bet you are going to keep that nail now. I wonder if your finger print will change

Perfect if you decide to break into cat-burgling!

Why would she want to burgle a cat?

The bit of the nail still attached at the bed is starting to blacken so I think I’ll lose that. The bit that’s no longer connected at the base is looking healthier! I have no idea what will happen, whether that will grow out?

 

[Stacia]

That must have been one hell of a bite (an accidental one I know) still looks swollen and gory to me, even if it is considerably better. You are a brave girl!

Hmm, well it's the base that's important....
If the nail plate is damaged the nail won't grow properly.
The black bit might just be bruising?
Watch out for the distal nail, it will probably detach on one side and flap around for a while.
I think it looks excellent.

Exactly that happened to a toenail of mine that got semi torn off back in the mists of time. To this day 'nail things' are the only things that make me squeamish. My nail grew back eventually but is still discoloured (nail varnish during sandal weather) and slightly raised and thickened but doesn't cause any problems. Hope yours is OK Fiona.

 

[Lisa]

Definitely looking better!

 

[snowbunny]

The skin on my finger pad has started splitting, I’m guessing from early damage from being stewed under a dressing. It’s quite sore because it’s deep and nowhere near ready to come off. I’m keeping it moisturised best I can. This is it post shower

Spoiler

 

[kateincornwall]

Oh hell , now that is sore , poor you x

 

[Naya]

Ouch. That looks quite sore still

 

[Candy]

Ooooh! Yuck! Very sore looking. Does the skin underneath look healthy though? I think it does from here. I would probably let as much air as possible get to it but keep it covered in potentially less than hygienic situations. Take care.xx
