Ouch! So sorry! Yes, be careful to keep it clean, use Neosporin for a few days, go to the doc at the first sign if infection or slow healing, and decrease sugar intake for a few days. If you smoke, at *least* cut back. Sorry, can't help it (nurse. Also be sure your tetanus is up to date. If not, those immediate care centers can usually give you that. Just don't want anything worse to happen to you. Hugs.

Ugh! I cut myself a while back with a brand spanking new blade in my rotary cutter. Weird thing was, it did not hurt when I did it (blood all over, and me looking like a cartoon character- duh....what?) but boy did it hurt afterwards. Somehow I managed to run the cutter up the middle of my left index finger. Still don't know how I managed that. Some steri- strips and a finger immobilizer later, I was told to stay away from quilting until it healed. It took a while.
