None at all I was pleasantly surprised at how little I noticed any pain in it, the finger held up well, I wore a nice little hard protector (synthetic plastic leather combo thing the surgeon's assistant custom fitted for me to that finger), the tip still feels slightly like a fat lip and a liitle numb but no real pain - the nail has grown twice the size of what was sliced off in the last two weeks alone, should have the full nail back by the end of the month.
I'll wear protection over it for the next six months to allow all the internal "soft tissue" to get back to full strength before I risk going without it, would be way to easy to catch it on something and be right back where I started.
It was just great to be back out there - I must have smiled at every single hiker I walked past today, I think a few thought I'd been smoking something, little did they know how or why I was in such a good mood.
Hope Rick Kent heals quickly as well
two hikers going down on the same day is a little wierd, but we did it so no ones else has to, we're all good for the next year
Thanks for asking Phil, those chutes are calling our names, and I heard a few others mention that they were lonely and needed some attention
