I did not. The thumb split down the middle of the nail, which eventually fell off. When everything was healed, the nail was fine and was it's normal size and shape, but my thumb was larger... probably 20% wider than it was previously, but just the fleshy part. Once it was finally healed, I was starting to think I'd have to have a plastic surgeon give it a look because it looked very odd. Then, and I fully expect shuke to call bull#### here, I took a nail file to it and sanded my finger back to it's normal shape. Well, it started with a nail file and then I actually grabbed sandpapper from the basement to speed up the process.
