Dang sorry to hear about it, I sliced off a piece of my left pointer finger a couple years ago and it sucked (it’s healed and the only issue I had was my finger print changed so I had to re-register it with my phone). Missing a part of your thumb is probably worse in these smartphone times.

Sorry about that, and nice that you're almost side-effect free now.

Are you american/in america? Did you have to re-register your fingerprints?

There are opt-in programs that mandate it (security clearances, etc.), but Americans aren't generally required to register their fingerprints.
Re-register for what? I’m American only thing I had to do was fix my iPhone sign in, I still had the iPhone 6s at the time.
Oof - last week mine looked like an exploded sausage, but it was healing. Glad the long term issues weren't too bad for you.
