I was cutting a piece of hardwood flooring with a tablesaw. I should have used a jigsaw. Anyway, I was stupid and for some idiotic reason lifted the piece up a bit. The saw, of course, grabbed the piece and my hand and pulled them forward at an insanely fast speed.
This is where I am insanely lucky.
I basically dadoed out a groove in my thumb about ¼” wide, and inch and a half long, and an 1/8th of an inch deep. It also took a nice layer off of my index finger. I bled instantly, and profusely. I was suprised how calm I was. I saw no missing digits, and no big dangly bits, so figures I was good. I called for my brother to bring me a bandaid or three. He was a little freaked. We washed it out and wrapped it up and I went back to cutting a new piece of wood.
It stopped bleeding after around 10 hours. It was a slow bleed due to the bandages.
It did hurt a bit, but my pride almost more than my flesh.
This was this Tuesday.
