Yep did way back almost 20 years now and was just finishing up a dress for mother's day and was putting in the zipper of course it was late at night and did not have a sewing room at the time. I was sewing on the kitchen table just outside my daughters room and my husband was upstairs working on the computer needle came down into my left index finger and broke off leaving a thread tail and punture all the way through. I do not recall it hurting but had to calmly call for my husband to come help without waking my daughter who was 3-4 years old at the time. Had no problem with my husband pulling out the needle or thread but could not look at it as he did it as I am very squeamish about watching needles (hypodermic or otherwise) going through MY skin. Now it could be anyone elses and I have no problem once it is in but cannot watch the process. Good luck and definitely get the tetnus shot and there is some Neosporin out there that has a analgesic pain killer in it that will help.
