Hi Frank,
Still watch it though. The wound has the potential to turn on you. I thought I was healing nicely too but weeks after the thumb started throbbing and then the wound started what looked like a small blister but deep blister with discoloration, painful too. I lost part of my thumb nail for a short period due to them cutting it open. But other than a small scar where they went into the side the thumb all looks normal now. I guess it all depends on how the current flowed through the tissue. Hopefully the current flow was at the surface and affected the surface tissue rather than deep down.
Bob,
Looking at it today all seems very well. (2 weeks after the fact) It is healed nicely with no discoloration. Just a small scab and a hard calous. So I guess the burn damage was mostly on the surface. As a matter of fact the calous was so hard that I took some sandpaper and sanded it down the other day. There is no discoloration and it even now perfectly matches the rest of the thumb in color. I think it just blew the bark off of the surface. I dont usually infect easily.
Many thanks for everyone's concearn, but I think this drama is over. All is well that ends well. I just wanted to possibly save someone else from my misfortune. Thanks to all! !
Frank
