This whole thread has a certain cognitive dissonance for those of us with a certain technical background.

try 2...

Gah! Is that your daughter's?

I'm not supposed to be sorry about it, but I'm having trouble.

Yep. I posted about it getting smashed when it happened, but was requested not to post the pics of the nail as it healed. I obliged then. I couldn't resist now... I have a pic of the nail bed once the nail fell completely off, too. It's all wrinkly and kind of cool. Wanna see? :D

Sure, why not?

When I was a kid, the little girl across the street got her finger severed about 80% through in a slammed door. The cut off bit was dangling from the rest of the finger by a flap of skin. They sewed her back up at the hospital, and her finger fully recovered. Toddlers are remarkable in their healing ability.

OK! Two different views. Sorry about the bad color on the one, but you can still see the texture.

What it originally looked like, the day after getting smooshed:

I wish I had taken a few as it grew back in, but it's good as new now. No lasting damage, whew.

Ouch! Didn't realize those were your kid's fingers. Not fun, and I'm a nail biter. :)

Uh, Damian?
