I am getting ready to say goodbye to my fingernail… it’s going to fall off pretty soon.
It doesn’t hurt much anymore, but I am afraid that once the fingernail falls off it might be really tender! I am kind of a wimp, so I am trying to keep it on as long as possible. I’m afraid to play my guitar or do too much with my hand for fear I will accidentally hit it and knock it off.

That is disgusting.
its not that bad. I had a missin thumbnail before and it is tender at first but it sort of gets better itself. A loose bandage will probably help.
good luck
