yeah... i found the no pain odd... and the thought of it as cool even more odd...
thank you for the kind wishes, it was my pinky finger though so i doubt it would matter to much if i lost it.
When my left pinkie was out of commission last year (splinted after I slammed a metal
door on it, breaking the tiny bone at the tip and smashing the nail), I was surprised to
find out that I really missed the use of it to help support things I was carrying.

*passes antibiotic ointment* Keep that wound clean and guarded against infection!
