nah i think iwas was over exagerating .25 of an inch, more like .125
i can move it ferfectly, just bleeds alot when uncovered. 2 weeks, it should be fully healed. i did the same thing to my right index finger, i was cutting a banana (mom was watching food channel, got some "inspirarion", dont ask) and i just taked it up, and it works great.
