Health update: one good, one bad

[redbird]

The good news is that the tingling in my left hand and arm has gone away. Or maybe not: about five minutes after posting this, I had a tingling on the outside (pinky) edge of that hand.

The not so good news is that the fingernail I was worried about detached itself almost entirely while I was in a restaurant bathroom this afternoon; I've bandaged it, on the theory that even an almost-detached fingernail is probably better protection than nothing at all. I am going to take papersky's suggestion and stock up on cloth band-aids, and adrian_turtle's advice and look for some loose-fitting mittens so I won't have to put snug gloves over it while it heals.

About the detaching fingernail--ouch, sympathy. When I had what was possibly a similar problem, in addition to bandaiding it, I used a fingernail patching kit that I found in the drugstore's cosmetic section to stabilize and reinforce the nail as it healed.
