The pain was nearly unbearable. I had to sit on the floor to keep from passing out. The only other times I had that much pain was when I had a wisdom tooth cut off my jawbone, and when I broke a toe. But I stuck the tip back on and kept it tightly wrapped. I used xeroform gauze (gauze infused with vaseline and iodine) and it really helped the healing. In a few days the color came back to that piece, and so I knew the blood flow had reconnected. Now you would never know anything had happened, except for a slightly odd shape to my finger. Frankensteinish...
