Cure it and hang it from your ceiling fan. When you want the fan on you can say to the grandkids, "pull my finger"!

Eh, they should be able to sew it back on. The tip of my right middle finger was severed when I was in the military and they were able to sew it back on with 13 stitches...being military docs, they naturally jacked it all up and looks weird, but it's still there.
As soon as I lost mine, some dude threw me a towel, so I reattached the tip and wrapped it with the towel. I waited for the ambulance for an eternity before I said screw it and drove myself to the hospital. As soon as I got there, they (being the military) immediately took a urine sample to ensure I wasn't on drugs, of course. Hard to hold your wiener and a cup with blood steadily flowing out and no nurse would willing to help me (gotta give it to me for trying). I was ok until they sat me in the chair to sew the tip back on. The doc re-removed the tip and stuck a huge needle through the stump on my hand to numb it for the stitches. I shouldn't have watched that because I about passed out. 13 stiches later, it was back on and throbbing. Today, there's a bad scar (10% VA rating) and part of the finger has no feeling (10% VA). Recently, that same finger developed stenosing tenosynovitis, so the VA gave me another 10%. |

Almost chopped the tip of mine off six years ago, when a heavy shelf support fell on it.

Did that once in High School
Closed a knife one handed and cut the tip of my finger off. After finding it on the floor of the bus, I blew the fuzz off and stuck it back on. Someone had some tape and I taped it on. Long story short, I put it on upside down . After it healed, I noticed that part of my finger had the fingerprint upside down. It took years to get any feeling back, which was not great as I used to play the guitar and it was harder to feel just where I was on the frets. BTW, my fingerprint on that finger is still upside down

Just put it in a jar of alcohol. That's what my cousin did when his neighbor cut off a toe many years ago with a lawnmower. You may ask the neighbor if they want the toe back...but he didn't.

No they couldn’t re-attach it, the rest of the tip bone is still MIA in my shop somewhere I told my guys that if they find it to put it on my tool box |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By fish223: So to make sure I understand, you had a traumatic partial amputation of a finger, the surgeons cannot re-attach it, you have the part, and you want to preserve it as a souvenir? If this is correct, you need formalin, not formaldehyde, and I can send you a small pre-filled pathology bottle to pop it into. Alternatively, I would recommend a dehydrator on a low temp for a couple of days. @fish223 updated the OP with pics, let me know what you think the best route to go is for preservation Thanks! |

Put it in epoxy and make a paperweight for your desk. You might need to prep it for preservation before you epoxy it up.

You should seal it in an acrylic block, sand it round into a ball and you will have the grossest desk display I've ever seen.
and this is by far the worst "i got injured" thread I have ever seen here. Holy shitballs dude. I would be passed out. that looks like the most painful thing ever. |

At least it was a clean cut from the look of it. Even a nice flap is still attached! Couldn’t have asked for a better fuck up than that. Well done!  Attached FileTell me, do you feel the back of your finger where the fingerprint should be? That’s gotta be trippy. |

Smartest way to preserve it is to eat it. Your body digests it and all its atoms recycle and are used throughout the body. So it is preserved, but in a different form.

Wow. Scissored a fingertip off at work, opening a pickle barrel with a Swiss Army knife. Crushed all four fingers of dominant hand in the crease of a garage door as it shut.
Those fingers may look odd on close inspection, yet look GREAT compared to the rest of y’all.
