I'm willing to admit....

That when I shoved the bones back under the skin and taped it up, I didn't really feel much like trying to align anything.  I just heard the bones crunch and I figured there wasn't much left to align.

Truth be told, when you are looking at bones sticking out of your skin in a couple places and purple marrow oozing out of them, you kinda just want the pain to stop - and that's when you realize you gotta fix it yourself and the pain isn't going to stop. And that's when you either show the world you are a pussy by calling the Paramedics and saying:

"Can you please send a $200,000 vehicle and two highly trained professionals to take me to the hospital, where the doctor is going to do nothing, because I hurt my pinkie?"

Or you suck it up and do it yourself. If you that people will call you 'crazy'.  But they will never fvck with you - because even dumbasses understand it's easier to cut their throat than to tape your finger back on.

However - two months to the day later, I got x-rays.  I can now associate the bones that were sticking out with what they look like now.  And I still haven't been to a doctor for it except to get the authorization for the x-ray yesterday.

I dare anyone to cut off their finger, tape it back on, and keep working.

X-rays: $10 each.  :-)
