My injury was a little cut compared to yours. i actually cut into the meat of my little finger resheathing a cold steel Desperado (typical CS aggressive serr. pattern). i, like yourself, have a pretty high threshhold for pain being that i've cut myself LOTS of times over the years. However, when i did this i knew something was wrong with my hand because this was the most paingul cut i have had. the wound itself was no more than a teeny little 1/4" gash that didn't even bleed all that much. When i got to the ER (went there once i realized my finger wasn't moving when i tried to bend it) they kind of laughed at me for coming and put an cartoon bandaid on me. Then the "hand guy" as he was called looked at it and said, "Oh. Looks like you have given yourself a zone II injury. That is the THE single worst place to cut your hand. Looks like we'll have to do exploritory. Do you need to call your parents?"
Two hours later, 20 stitches, lots of loopy drugs, and 5,000 dollars i finally found out that i had severed the tendon that makes the tip of your little finger move. What a weekend!!
I'm very glad you took care of your injury. I'm the posterchild for not looking after my wound. the day after i had my stiches removed i wasn't wearing the brace i was suppose to wear for 8 weeks and SLAMMED THE DANG FINGER IN A TRUCK DOOR!!! Ruptured the tendon again and it's one of those things that can only be done once. so now my finger is little stiff "He-man action figure" thing that won't straighten past 60 degrees.
Like I said, congrats on the successful healing and I'm glad you actually took care of yourself.
