.....it's nothing to brag about.

Finger update: Looks worse, getting better, I guess. The black stuff is just dried blood and ooze that is working its way out. That doesn't worry me as much as the "pus-knot" (?) I got growing on the left there. Still incredibly painful if I hit the left side or tip on something. Got 4 days of antibiotics left to take. I soak it in Epsom salts religiously.
You can see where the infection has gotten better, down below the nail. My concern is even when the infection goes away, I've still got a mucked up finger with a nail cutting into the meat.
I've been the model of restraint so far, but I don't know how much longer I can go without taking a hot needle and poking that "pus-knot".

Looking at these pictures of my fingers, it's clear to me why I was never a hand model. These are some fairly unremarkable looking digits.
There's nothing wrong with my other finger, but .......
