Second hospital report

My finger is healing, but it will take a while. The doctor had to soak the bandage off and eventually just pulled it off. It looks as though the door caught the middle of my nail and the pressure split my skin from under the nail to the outside. The split under the nail is just under the end of the nail, not as far back as I thought. The doctor left the bandage off to give the figer some air and I go back in two weeks. It is still oozing and as you can imagine it is very difficult to not use my right hand at all. I try to hold it up as much as possible and the doctor would like me to wear a sling to help me remember to not use it. I do hope it heals quickly as I am going to see my Mom, Dad and sister on the 19th of October (by myself! Pray for Jeff:). I won't be much help on the boat if it doesn't heal!
Thank you everyone for your prayers. Rhea
