Ouch! Takes a while for fingertips to heal. Look for a "birdcage"splint at the drugstore. The cage tip's bands will prevent you from bumping that sore fingertip. Congrats on your machine haul. Too bad it came with critter calling cards, but at least the critters weren't home. I learned the hard way to always empty drawers into a ziploc bag before placing any machine in the car. Saw fresh poop but no mouse. Mice moved into my car vents and cost $200 for eviction and vent deodorizing.
