So is the ring off yet?

So is the ring off yet?

Have to wait until I get home from work tonight to try. Hopefully it will be off by tomorrow morning. Keep your fingers (hehe) crossed.

Good luck, Puffkin! It's actually better that you're taking a break from trying. It may give some time for the swelling from your previous attempts to go down.

BTW, I love the dog and cat photo in your sig!

Using the dental floss really works it doesn't have to be the real wide stuff. In the ER we used to use suture thread. I've taken many rings and several other objects that kids have thought to put their fingers into by this method. You do have to wrap it tight and go slow it won't come off all at once.

Well, we tried last night with all the methods above and it didn't budge

My finger was still puffy though from the earlier attempts so we are going to give the swelling a few days to go down before we try again. If we can't get it off by the weekend, I guess we will be going to the jewelery store to get it cut off.

Thanks for all the tips!
