If you have epsom salt make a paste and wrap a cold washcloth around it. I hope it feels better tomorrow.

Thank you for your kind words. It seems that a couple of blood vessels burst in my finger so it's all swollen up and purple and bleeding out of the nail bed. Sorry to be so graphic. I did take a bath with epson salts awhile ago and that felt better than the bag of frozen peas. No they didn't have finger tape. Damn, my department didn't even have an adequate supply of band aides! During my break I had to go buy a box for myself. I reported this to the facility's managers who said they would get band aides to my department. They didn't act at all concerned. And yes, my job is totally working with my hands 100%. I feel glum.
