Had the same reaction many of you expressed - just stared in disbelief until the pain kicked in and the blood stated oozing.
So be warned, knock on wood, say a prayer, do a little good luck dance or whatever you have to do to keep yourself from being jinxed. :wink:
Yup, been there, done that, 6 stitches and a ruined fingernail for life!!!! Had to call my hubby to take me to the hospital, I passed out before he got home to get me!!! I have an awesome respect for those sharp little buggers.
