Ok got it cleaned and the dressing changed.
Right after I unwrapped it
And then rewrapped.
Still won't be able to bend my thumb but the cut extended closer to my knuckle than I could work around unfortunately. So I'll just have to deal with it for a few days while I heal. It looks a lot better now though which is always a good thing.
Sparky, that's the nice thing about Uncle Sam giving me medical training. I'll probably change the dressing a couple times a day for the next couple days and then let it air out as I'm sleeping at night (it won't heal right or nearly as quickly if you don't let it air out at least a little while). I'll just keep it wrapped up while I'm up so I don't accidently open it back up.
I think I'm gonna whip up some Mac and Cheese now. I'm hungry.

Sarge-that looks about like my finger I exploded by an even sitting down on it at work a while back. Had to get 4 stitches but probably would have survived without. Go ahead and check on the Monte you like. You never know, they might give you a decent price and get financed at a low rate for a long period. Maybe 4-5 years and then you might be able to get it. Time flys by and it would be paid off in no time. Keep us posted, interested in hearing about it. Take a pic or two for us.
Mike-let us know what you find today also.
Back to the Meguires Endurance. Unless they have improved it, that is what I have and it does sling a little. I just looked at my bottle. I bought it last spring. Still a great shine.

Mornin' Everyone from the Flatlands of Kansas!
Wow 23 pages yesterday! Good Grief. Looks like I'm going to the Salvage yard
to find the little air deflector that's underneath the front bumper on the '98 Black LS.
The wife ran it into an 8" parking curb & it's trash... Fun!
Hope you all are having a good one!
-Mark.

Guess we'll see Jerry. If I can get a good deal on it and a good rate then I'd probably jump all over it, even though I'd be giving up a few mpg on the highway.
And yeah, even if I did need stitches, that's another thing I'd be able to do myself. I have pretty steady hands (I can even stick myself with an IV if need be) but it's a pretty clean cut so I won't need them this time. I have a nice scar on the same hand below my thumb from several years ago though LOL.
