Flashes of Panic

The stitches came out this morning. Thanks to the novocaine used in the ER, they hurt more coming out than they did going in.

My finger already feels better with the pressure of the stitches off, though it’s oddly sensitive. It’s tender as you might expect, but the very tip (outside the cut) is numb, as though it’s asleep. The doctor says it may or not ever get sensation back. I’m not too bothered, as long as I can type again soon.
