Tetanus shot is current. I got one two years ago when I sliced the tip of my finger with my rotary cutter. My poor index finger is a quilting victim.

Makes me shiver to think about it. Wishing you a quick recovery.

Oh my, makes me queasy to think about it. Hope it is not too sore today. Be careful!

Ouch!! Hope everything heals okay. Plus I hope you didn't get any blood on the quilt you were working on. :(

oh my goodness. In a similar freak accident my significant other managed to ram a metal splinter from a friend's stool through his nail and it got stuck in the bone. A surgeon had to remove part of the nail to get the brittle piece of metal out that was stuck in his bone! :shock:

Luckily needles are stronger and your's came out all in one piece the first try!

Oh, wow, so sorry! I have done everything from cutting the side of my finger off, to dropping a portable on my big toe, but - thank heavens - I have never gotten a needle in my finger. Hope you are back to quilting quickly.

Oh man! I did that several years ago and had to wait for DH to get home to get it out with pliers too! What did I do in the mean time? Took pictures! lol. Hope you heal well/quickly!

OMG I hope you went to the doctor! Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Welcome to the club! We have jackets and everything, lol. Make sure your tetanus shot is up-to-date and get a hug and a piece of chocolate from hubby.

I did that too a long long time ago. I watch where my fingers are ever since :D
