My poor finger

I managed to cut my finger yesterday putting together a display for our community birth open evening. It bled quite well.
Thought it was OK today, but I keep on catching it and it opens up and re-bleeds. But plaster wearing is a right pain when doing my antenatal clinic and washing my hands between each patient.
One good thing today = I lost 1.5lb at fat club, giving me a total of 4 stone 13lb. Have set myself a target of losing 1 lb for next week. Can I do it?
