This is after the emergency room stitched it up. The Dr. there was very concerned at the tendon damage and referred me to the surgeon.

After Surgery
Yeah, I got a cut on my finger, now I look like this for six days.
Luckily I was messing around in my chimney and managed to dump a huge pile of soot/ash/creosote right down the tiny opening at the end. Otherwise I would have only been able to enjoy the amazingly claustrophobic and uncomfortable squeezing sensations and loss of all functionality without that nice additional dirty gritty feeling.

He went back in the same incision, but stitched it up in this weird bulbous protruding way. Unfortunately I have no idea what he did or what to expect. Both times I've seen this typical arrogant doctor he barely glanced at me and bolted from the room after a few brief sentences without really telling me ANYTHING about what he did, what to expect, how long to heal, how to take care of it etc.
One concern is that after being crammed in there for 6 days now my index finger has this weird painful swollen bump on the flexor side and it doesn't move right :(
My other two finger are very stiff and atrophied and unhappy also. And my wrist is sore and weak.
