Several years ago a drinking glass broke in the sink as I was cleaning it. The water suddenly going red indicated I'd sustained some personal damage. On my right index finger there was a flap of flesh trying its best to fall off. I dried it and nudged it back into place, locking it down with a pair of butterfly closures and covering it with a waterproof breathable dressing. It healed reasonably well but not perfectly & sometimes, like right now, it's painful when I put any sort of pressure on it. Such as pushing myself up from a bed or chair. Really inconvenient.
