My thumb about two weeks after the noodle—because I know you all care. ;-) But seriously, I think it looks kind of cool—almost like I painted it or something. For the record, although the initial “surgery” hurt like hell, the pain diminished steadily each day to the point where, after about a week, I hardly noticed it and was able to use my thumb normally again. I'll never know whether that might have eventually happened w/out medical intervention, but oh well. I'm just glad to have two opposable thumbs again!
