Worth trying to save?

Some slimy (as in really) but I think that is good tissue.
Some like watered watered down mashed potato in a fetching colour of light brown.
Some dry brown flakes which are attached to the mash.

I've took most of the mash out and the brown flakes and the plant seems less squishy (please can someone give me a better word?!).

Peel off all the mushy / squidgy bits, and especially anything which has gone gone orange. Then let the plant rest in a cool, dry place (dry being important) (with light). If you have some talcum powder you could put that on the exposed surfaces to help dry them out. Then plant it up in say 2 or 3 weeks by when it should have healed. Start watering it again next spring. You should have good chances of success given that the roots are sound, and so is the growing end.

Good Luck!

I'm assuming I'll "just know" when it's healed? Assuming I can see through the yellow stuff.... (was a bit heavy handed with the sulphur... )

If you leave it a couple of weeks, that should be fine.

I think I'd leave it alone and see what happens. The roots are fine and there is no point slicing off the top above or below the bit that looks dodgy. Therefore I'd hope that the damage is the sort that is unexplained but doesn't get any worse. Unles of course there is a definite rotten spot, in which case try to scoop it out and dress with sulphur.
