About a month ago I was slicing meat at work, and got the tip of my thumb. It's pretty much healed now, but I thought I'd try and put up a couple pictures.

A day after. I had to hold it above my heart to stop any bleeding, and create a blood clot, for about two days. As soon as I lowered it, this is what happened. Underwater you could pretty much see a little fountain streaming out, where the capillary is.

A couple days after. It would get scabby/pussy/dirty/green after giving it some air, but being in the ocean helped clean it a lot.



EDIT: I had to do everything left handed for about three days, including shaving, writing, showering (left-handed, one-handed,) going to the bathroom was pretty awesome, I couldn't even press a button on the TV remote with my thumb. And I wasn't able to drive for three days because I fainted.
