I can feel your pain, Stef! I did a job on my index finger with the rotary cutter. I decided to use a 'shortcut', using my other hand to cut the material instead of moving my cutting board around. I almost passed out when I saw it. Blood everywhere! It happened on a Friday night so I decided to wait it out until Monday to go to the Dr.'s. 'Couldn't sleep because of the pulsing in my finger for days. Monday the doctor said it was too late to stitch it up so I had to cope with it until it finally healed. Now I have a big scar to remind me not to ever do that again! Some lessons are learned with a lot of pain!!
I hope yours in healing quickly and that it isn't keeping you from quilting for too long.
