So I come home from work lastnight and my husband is using a chop saw for making kindling from the leftover construction stuff... I leave again to go to the drycleaners, and come back to his swollen, black finger tip. As the night goes on it is getting more and more painful as the pressure is building up. He finally says, I can't stand it anymore, will you please drill a hole in my nail? My first response was no way! Then he said it will make it feel better, so upstairs we went looking for the best tool do use. I wouldn't use any thing with power to it. So I took a drill bit and as gently as I could turned and twisted on the nail until I could see some blood. But nothing was really happening so I went and got a finer dremel tool bit. That worked better but didn't make it really able to release the blood/pressure. SO then I took a pin, and poke on either side of the hole and finally the release of this dark red ooze... and a sigh of relief from my husband.
