    With the new fingerprint, you can now get out of witness protection.

    Glad you weren't hurt.

    It might be a good idea to continue to wear the shades, though. Just don't wear the shades and wear a protective glove on the injured hand .. someone may think you're Michael Jackson.

    I appreciate the reminder but hate that it happened to you. Don't send a pic, I have it in my head already. Feel better soon

    No pictures. I was at Urgent Care for bronchitis today and they took a look at it. It's healing as it should.

    One of the most miraculous gifts that woodworkers get is that most cuts heal and most skin grows back.

    Not quite

    How about open wound of finger (ICD9 883.0) and accidents caused by woodworking and forming machines (E919.4)? In reality, it would be coded as finger injury not otherwise specified (ICD9 959.5) and injury by other/unspecified cutting or piercing instruments or objects (E920.8/E920.9) as it takes too much time to look up the most specific codes and insurance doesn't really care as long as the diagnosis and E-codes justify the charges.

    Fortunately the first diagnosis wasn't traumatic amputation of other finger(s) without mention of complication (E886.0). Be careful!

    A true wood worker would have PIC's

    i was involved in the Saltwater Aquarium Hobby for many years and one of our presenters had been stung by an Anemone. Rather than rushing to remove the barbs from his arm, he sought out the camera for PIC's first and then gave it medical attention. Dedicated to the core LOL

    Glad is was such a narrow & shallow cut, could have been much worse.

    The physical wound will heal quickly but these kind of injuries could have a negative and lasting impact on your psyche, the sooner you get back to woodworking the sooner you will overcome your hesitation and fear of using that table saw again.
    Get well soon.

    You could "joint" it flat.... do you own a jointer? If not, perhaps a hand plane could make it smooth. if you like the groove, try some glue that is water activated so that the moisture from the wound will help it cure.

    They also have a positive impact. I had the exact dado in my finger, now when the little voice says " I'm not sure about this", I back off and make sure I do it properly ( woodworking only)
    Finger stays sensitive for a long time because of the missing meat.

    Thanks for the sobering reminder, Brian.

    And, a die grinder would be my choice...

    Brian....I did the same thing with a dado blade & needed 7 stitches. You'd think I'd learn from the first time I did it but didn't. So after the second go round my wife was all for a SawStop table saw...Did that about 2 yrs ago & finger is still with no feeling on the end.

    I think I take things like that too seriously, I don't joke about them like that and feel uncomfortable when I see others that do.
