I bruised my right index finger badly some weeks ago.
Last Sunday, the damaged nail detached itself most of the way. I pasted it down with a band-aid, both because I didn't want to deal with it right before getting on an intercity bus, and because I thought there was almost no new nail there.
It's been getting looser, when not pasted down, since.
I just detached the last bit, and then rinsed the finger and patted it dry. To my pleasant surprise, there's a good deal more new nail there than I'd thought. There's not much exposed nailbed.
I have the cloth bandages![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
papersky suggested, and will keep using them for a little while--but I no longer expect to use them up and need more. (I bought two boxes of 30, but that was mostly to have one home and one at work.)
