I wake up next day, my finger has swollen up now so that it's twice as big as my thumb. I had to poke holes in it so that the excess water would drip out.( Though, 3 days later, it burst while I was reading books in the bookstore.)
Anyway, bout a week later, I peeled the skin off and just had it like that. I couldn't bend the finger either. we went to the hospital the next day and had it checked out, and it turns out I could have lost the finger entirely. Took bout 2-3 weeks before the skin grew back on my finger. You can hardly tell it happened now.
Fun story, no?
