Twisted Finger

A week ago I opened the side door to our yard with Lily on her leash and there was a black cat right there. Lily bolted after the cat and the leash tightened around my pinky and fourth finger, twisting them at an angle they were not designed for. I let go of the leash realizing that I would cause more damage if I held on. We have a fenced yard, after all. I brought Lily back inside. My two fingers are slightly swollen at the top knuckles and occasionally throb, but they work fine, considering. The ligaments will take a while (weeks or months) to completely heal. Nonetheless I have been obsessing over them, wondering if my pinky will look deformed from this day forth, proving that I am an old lady.
