This is your finger? OW!
I hope it’s all right by now. The last time I got one of those, my finger throbbed for several hours, even though the doctor said I just bruised the nail and the flesh beneath it. He recommended ice and ibuprofen. And rest, not that anyone in my household volunteered to cook or do the dishes for me while I was recovering. Hmph.
It’s my right thumb. No, it doesn’t hurt anymore. Just have to look at the ugly mark for the next several months.
I LOVE FAMILY PHOTOS!

Happy for you that it doesn’t hurt still but I guess the nail will eventually drop off….hope you were able to get retribution on someone/something or at least speak ill of the pry bar.
