Step Three: Buddy Taping

Perhaps we should move away from convivial communion,games bonding experience,hobbies creation lol(Stop laughing now),as now we have a serious issue at hand. Let us address what happens next. Buddy taping involves securing the broken finger to its neighbor (preferably any seemingly healthy digit around it)using strip adhesive tape.Just follow these steps:

• First cut two strips of thanks-giving tape(approximately 5 inches in length)
• Next straighten affected digit(s).
• Then wrap one strip of tape over top-most part including both fingers.Stretch out another similarly fourth long adjacent wrap past bottom section of both fingers.
• Lastly, pull lightly to secure tape.Excess wrapping helps avoid maintaining high pressure points.
