The Thumb, for the last time

Yes, this is becoming absurd. But 4 weeks later, my thumb still hadn't healed up. There was this piece of nail sticking up from the nailbed-I assumed it was just a small bit hanging on. But the finger still continued to throb. Previously, when I tried to pull it out, it really hurt, so I refrained. This time I pulled on that piece with some tweezers, and amazingly, this huge shard of nail just popped out. The piece of nail was 7MM long-over 1/2 inch! Apparently the impact drove the nail piece straight down into the flesh. Essentially no different than a piece of glass or metal.
