To be honest, it would be nice to.  It's over a week now, painfully hobbling around, and I have to go back to the doc on Mon, as the AntiBiotics haven't sorted it, and the tendon and muscles still seem to be in as much trouble as they were at the start, and the the lump is still there.  It's getting incredibly frustrating not being able to do what I WANT!  As well as need to do, of course.<br/><br/>I had my fingers shut in a train door in France as a youngster.  So I really do commiserate with you.  Make sure you pack between the fingers and buddy them up before bandaging them Straight - don't let them heal curved - the skin tightens (really ouch). Being supported by the 'buddy' heps so much too.  I went to a very strict primary school and got into terrible trouble for making two girls in Assmbley faint a week or so later, by showing them my black fingers (undoing the dessing) and lifting the nails up to show the squish underneah) *laughs* - see always been 'naughty'<br/><br/>You can get everyone to behave now - just say........... "Or I'll show you my finger........"   ;D
