I did the exact same thing about 6 months ago. My cut was about half as thick but you can not tell that I even cut it now. Very tender for a while.
Keep it clean and padded, seems it will always find something to hit.

I did get a message earlier today that said they had reached customs.
We have waited this long, another week or two is worth it. I buy on ebay from the UK and you never know when a purchase will show up.
