Good Friday, Good Finger
I took my first full-fingered shower since March 17 today. It was a little weird to feel the water hitting the stub of my finger. Some of the dried blood and dead skin is already starting to rub off. The fingertip is rounding out a little more each day. I'm supposed to be bending the finger each day, and it's pretty stiff. But it doesn't hurt too much. There's some nerve pain, and a dull ache that's pretty constant.
I've been off the pain meds since I got the stitches out yesterday. I'm noticing that I have a constant headache, and my body is tense and sore.
Sadie won't look at my finger yet. She glanced at it yesterday, but she bursts into tears when I suggest that she take a look. I think she expected the finger to regenerate. I guess she needs more time. Although I'd be real happy with some Divine Intervention!

speaking of divine intervention: I know a guy who took a steering wheel to the face in a head-on auto accident. His whole head swelled and he had to get hundreds of stitches to reattach his lip to his face. Long story short, The Lord healed him completely two days later. You can't even tell anything happened to look at him today.
headache? That's a strange side effect. From the finger-trauma you think? Or a drug reaction maybe.
my guess is the headache is my body reacting to a lack of drugs. it's better today, but I was pretty much inactive today.
