Geepers kreepers good thing you called the right friend who insisted you go to the hospital... Time for a new blade. Then be extra careful.

I did the same thing years ago with an oil can in the garage. They sewed it back on, and the P.A. who stitched it. was only 1 fingerprint line off! It was numb for years, and I just recently became aware that I feel with it now.

Not going to the ER or Dr. and waiting... WHY? That is very dangerous. When I hurt I want relief immediately I don't care what day it is.

I am sorry, I hope your finger heals fast. I did the same thing only did not need stitches.

Dang! I am so sorry that happened to you!

I watched a friend of mine slice her thumb using a rotary cutter so in the back of my head I'm like careful... careful... careful... I know one of these days it will be my turn...

Nah, it wasn't dangerous. I actually put an herbal salve on it along with vitamin E and it healed really much faster than if I had just left that butterfly on. I am an herbalist and only go to a doctor if absolutely necessary; otherwise I use herbs to stay healthy and haven't been sick even with a cold in over 10 years. No flu shots for this girl!

I felt pain as I read your post. Got up from my computer and went over to make sure I had locked my rotary cutter because I have a bad habit of not doing that. I will think of you each time I look at and use that thing ! Glad your neighbor insisted on taking you to the hospital. This is for him :thumbup:

I cut the end of my finger off with a rotary cutter about 3 years ago. I now use gypsy gripper to hold my rulers. These cuts are very painful. They would'nt sew mine back on. Glad yours is going to be okay.
