Thank you for your question .

Yes , from what ever you have mentioned in your query , it all sounds normal . The heartbeat in your ring finger is just the blood flowing through the are that you can feel as whenever there is a wound , the human body directs more blood through the area to help the wound heal naturally .
This causes the heart beat sensation . A cut of this extent that required so many stitches will take at least 3 weeks to heal completely or may be more in some cases. Do not about the white soggy dead skin .

Thanks and Take care
