Oh, yeah. I was early 20's, sewing on a bridesmaid's dress and,as I hit the foot peddle for one more stitch, the peddle raced and did three stitches. The last one landed right in the middle of my index fingernail. Since I always sew with the needle down, I sat there, tethered to my machine. I actually sat there & thought what the best thing to do would be. I realized I had few choices (and didn't want to bleed on the fabric!). So, I rolled the handwheel, and the needle came out in one piece - even the thread was not broken. I took care of my finger, and marked off one of my "Worse Things I'm Afraid Could Happen" topics. As usual, they're not as bad as the imagining is.
Hope you heal quickly!
