And I am on blood thinners. So it did take forever to stop - not until the doctor cautherized it. And the little muscle at the end is just gone. You can still see where the end of my finger is flat.

Always pay attention - remember they are sharp as surgeons tools and dangerous. Pay attention.

Since then, I have obtained my QuiltCut and running a risk of cutting has greatly decreased. But still I am extremely careful. And I try to only cut things out when DH is home, just in case.
