Oh no...I just stabbed myself with a pin going up under my fingernail and thought that hurt terribly. I can't imagine the pain in sewing through your finger.
I had an accident one time with a large paring knife cutting carrots for my grandaughter. Knife stuck and dumb me put my hand under it and pushed it right through the upper palm and of course severed a nerve. For that cut I ended up with several stitches and then had to have surgery. I was in a cast for 6 weeks...left hand thank God. But it was at Christmas and poor hubby had to do everything including making making big bows for the tree.
And a friend of hubby's asked to use his nail gun on a side job they were doing. Hubby warned him to be careful and he said he would. Well...next thing he hears is..."UHHHH OHHH can you come here a minute" He mangaged to nail 3 fingers together.
Oh and yes get a tetnus shot if you haven't had one in 10 years. Lucky for me I had just got a booster about 2 months before my knife incident.
