We were just talking the other day about all the people I know that have cut themselves badly with a rotary cutter! I thought I am too careful, I won't do that, and hadn't done it! Well, guess what my DH was buggin me, and I sliced that first finger to the bone! But, on the good side it is a clean slice and should heal back very nicely! Boy was I doing a weird dance after that -- it hurt! I was not even cussing -- just too painful!

Nancy, a homemade remedy for the soreness of that finger when it start to heal is to soak it in some diluted 'Murphy's Oil Soap.' It will take the tenderness out of the finger.
