It's just a tiny little cut with some bruising. Never thought my whole finger would swell up. I used Traumeel (anti-inflammatory ointment) on it and the swelling is gone and full motion is back. I played a bar gig (no one listening) Wed night with the 3 finger method. It was interesting and frustrating to say the least, especially on fast fiddle tunes. Today I can stand to put some pressure on it and think I could use it tonight. I was going to put a bunch of NuSkin on it and go for it, but one of the guys just called and is sicker than a dog so we might have to cancel after all that.
The mice in my wellhouse are very thankful for their new dry home. <g> Nothing like good well water, especially in winter when it runs cold.
