Django burned off half of his fretting hand and Les Paul had to have a fractured arm set into special position so he could keep rolling. If you're serious about keeping the session, start now, working around that finger. Probably a bad idea to try and use it. I had a bad cut that I thought was healed, and played a gig where things got a little wild. You know how it is when you're into it. You get in a zone where things don't hurt, but you're still reeking havok on the damaged finger. Had to have it re-stitched. Don't fall into that trap.
It's amazing what you can do with one less finger, and you'll have a story to attach to the recording.
