another finger-wound update (better news!)
15 years ago
Yeah, that really horrible rat bite on my fingertip... It may heal sooner than I was thinking earlier, I think I found a way to bandage it that will allow me to (try to) draw, and other things.
The butterfly suture's adhesive was all coming off and it really itched, and it was bugging me that I hadn't been able to see the 1/3 of the cut that had been under the suture for over a week. So I decided to replace it...very carefully removed it to discover that part of why my fingertip felt so tender was that the suture was on WAY TOO TIGHT! It had actually been hurting my finger like that. ._.
Took a look at the cut underneath and was pleased to see it scabbed over. It didn't open up while I washed it thoroughly and let my finger stop being squashed for a bit, but just to be safe I put lots of creme on and put a new suture on (not as tight this time!) Now I'm just waiting for the scab to start healing.
Found a way to use 2-3 regular plasters on my finger in a way that completely covers the wound without being too bulky...can actually type with 10 fingers now without hurting my fingertip at all. The corners of my finger are not tender at all with it like this...so I'm actually fairly confident I can try to draw like this. It'll be awkward due to the bandaging, but I'd like to try later, just for a little bit.
So yeah, not quite as crippled now, and not completely hopeless and mopey.
Yay!
Also, HAPPY HALLOWEEN, GUYS!! :D

It's been drivin me absolutely insane. I may try to work on that shading if I can draw with these bandages...just make sure I take breaks to keep from hurting it. I just really really wanna get that thing done!
Keep us updated.
*kisses the fingertip to help it heal faster*
And this means I can finally work on your badge again, by the way! :D I can only work for a bit at a time and have to take a lot of breaks, but I can actually work!!! I'm so sorry for the MASSIVE delay, but the Plague Rat badge is a good portion done with the shading, and yours is the next priority right after!
