I feel your pain. I sliced a chunk off my left index finger while rotary cutting. Three days later was the shop hop in Western MA and at a shop in the bargain bin I found a Klutz glove for $10. I NEVER forget to put it on when I'm going to use my rotary cutter. I wished I had known about the meat cutter, etc gloves as others mentioned. I'll pass that along to my friends.Hope you heal quickly.
