OUCH. thats why I like my sew easy rotary cutter fingers don't get in the way. mind you my husband is always cutting himself with a stanley knife and I have to rush him to hospital to get stitched up. once I rang and told them I was bringing him in AGAIN and they said the Dr wouldn't be in to stitch him up till after 5PM I told her he didn't have anything to stitch he cut the side of his finger right of. when we got there she said oh boy your sure right about that. it took weeks & weeks to heal back properly. He didn't suffer too much pain and he was back using the stanley knife the next day. All the nurses know him in ER and call him by his first name now. gotta love him, but he is so accident prone. he called me yesterday and when I went to see what he wanted he had the car running and my first thought was OMG what has he done this time, Panic over 1 of the neighbours needed a hand. hope you heal quickly but don't make a habit of it.
