It did not hurt too bad &#8211; anyone that has cut themselves with something really sharp (or been cut by something really sharp) can understand.  It is a strange feeling, not really painful.  The pain&#8230; well, that comes after.<\/p>\n<p>The bleeding was not severe, but I could not stem it after applying pressure for several minutes, so I had to revert to a little <strong><em>silver nitrate<\/em><\/strong> (looks a little like a matchstick).  Now, <strong><em>that<\/em><\/strong> <em>effing<\/em> hurt!  Never felt anything like THAT before.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway&#8230;  I had to keep my finger wrapped up for a few days, and one of the things I got used to rather quickly was typing without it.  Now that it is almost healed over, I am trying to start typing with it again, and it takes conscious effort to do so!  I type with it for a little while, and then I start keeping it lifted and hitting its usual keys with my middle finger!<\/p>\n<p> Amazing how quickly our bodies and\/or minds adapt to things like this&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So I cut off a small part of my left index finger last Saturday night&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-24","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-james"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO 5.0.1.1 - aioseo.com -->\n\t<meta name=\"description\" content=\"So I cut off a small part of my left index finger last Saturday night...\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"max-image-preview:large\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"author\" content=\"James R.
