I Feel Like An Evil Genius

Woke up about two hours ago. Tried to be happy just playing Inquisition, but not being able to crochet even a little was driving me insane.

The pain in my finger is still pretty bad, but not nearly as bad as yesterday. Thank God.

The skin is still together, doing the really weird thing that my skin often does, which is turn into a burn. The good news? It means the skin will stay fused. The even better news? I have pain relieving burn cream that helps a lot, and God does it feel good on my finger right now.

Found a different cloth bandage with a tighter weave. It wasn't rasping as badly, but it was still rasping.

Then I was thinking of a suggestion ElectricFish made yesterday. While I couldn't do what they suggested, it did give me an idea.

Because of my health, face masks and nitrile gloves are everyday items in our household. So I thought about using a nitrile glove. Eh, but then my hand would sweat and I wouldn't be able to feel my work properly.

Well, what about cutting all the other fingers off? Eh, then that finger will sweat, the bandage will get soggy and fall off, and the sweat might be enough to pop the skin back open because it'll prune. Pruning is bad.

What if I cut off the top of that finger so it can still breathe? Hmm... That might actually work...

This photo is the result. It's working like a charm!

So thanks, ElectricFish! It might not be the suggestion you made, but your suggestion made me think if it. So thanks!
