Hugs to you....I do hope you are feeling better by now. These rotary cutters can do some major damage. The first year I was quilting I set mine down on the table hurriedly and it slipped off, bounced under the table and hit the top of my foot.....no stitches on this accident, but a pretty good cut to show for it (almost to the bone) and an good amount of pain for a few days. My DH said that could have been avoided if only I would wear shoes when I sew. Being more careful these days.
