I hurt as I read your letter. Hope you're OK

Owwww! Hope you're up to date on your tetanus shots...never know where those sewing machine needles have been or what they have on them! (LOL)

Ohhhhh, that makes me cringe and gives me chills....Hope your finger is okay and you'll be back to quilting soon...

Ouch. Hope your tetanus shot is up-to-date.....

Well, it was borderline for stitches so I let it bleed good, then cleaned it and bandaged it up. Couldn't stand the idea of going to the ER on a weekend, LOL.
I was a nurse in my previous life so I think it will be fine. The edges are staying together well so far.

Keep it really clean...you can get quite a bad infection from this...also...is your tetnus up to date?
It doesn't have such a pulse if you hold it up...if you hand it down, it will hurt like #$%

OUCHIE!!!!!!! I've come so close so many times. Now that I've read your story, it'll probably be my turn.

I have come close a couple of times, but so far I haven't done that. I hurt for you. I hope it gets better soon. :-(

Crazy glue! It's what they would use in the emergency room anyhow. As long as you've cleaned it out and the edges aren't ragged, you should be fine.

Either that or duct tape. That's what works for my husband.

Yes, I am sure I'll be fine. I am just frustrated that I had to stop quilting for the day.
