That looks about right. The new nail will be ridged and bumpy at first; it'll be spring (6 months, give or take) by the time you have a nice, smooth new nail.

You can unveil it on Memorial Day Weekend. By then it'll be bikini-ready.

Oh I've learned from my mistakes...
And I'm certain I can repeat them exactly. Thumbikini. All the kids are wearing them.

Thumbellino
Because I know you all love this saga and want to have, like, a hundred of its babies, I'm giving you this update.
That weird ridge seems to persist and it is along the axis where I trephinated the nail. But that must be a coincidence since the growth originates further back under the cuticle, if I'm not mistaken. Another oddity is where the nail emerges from the cuticle it is extremely thin and lifted off the bed like a blister. Out of curiosity I made a slit in the blisterish part of the nail with a fairly sterile ( ha ha) razor blade. A bunch of blood gooshed out which surprised me. So, without further ado, here is thumbellino as of this morning. I did sand down a buch of the general gnarliness and snags with 120 grit paper. Ok I lied. There is a bit more ado, I thought about building up several dozens layers of clear nail polish, then buffing the top coat to a matte finish, as a sort of protective/ aesthetic cover. Alternatively I could sand the nail up to 1200 with wet or dry sandpaper and that would smooth it out well. The nail is a bit thin in spots so I'm not inclined to sand it much more. Finally there's always the option of just not doing anything to it at all. The shape of my thumb has also been seriously changed its thicker, wider, and more blob shaped. Ok now here's the photo

Perhaps it might be a good idea to see a doctor?

you could fill it in with nail polish to look like a stained glass window. It's OK, Lola, I am a doctor

Curiouser and curiouser, the split has now travelled up under the cuticle.

You've disrupted your nail bed and eponychium. Which is to say that it'll take a minimum of six months to grow this one out, and there's a chance it'll never be quite as it was. If not, it'll be an interesting scar with a story.
