OMG, I hope they were able to save your finger. What a terrible thing to happen. I send prayers for a quick and whole recovery. I'm sorry, but that's not a club I'd like to join, however, I once stuck my finger in the blades of my blender wand - stupid I know - but fortunately it was just a deep slice, not an amputation. It was my luck that I got an ER Dr. with a warped sense of humor who regaled me with tales of his ER visits, so he took my mind off of my injury. Please heal quickly and well.
