You are one lucky boy.... There not normally that generous!!
In all seriousness I hope its not too bad and heals quickly...
Healed very well mate just a loss of sensation. I felt such a p**ck just lowered my concentration for a split second and WHAM it got me. I still don’t know how but hey ho at least I didn’t cut it off
I swore a bit but the difficult thing to deal with was my stupidity on how it happened. I can’t really remember what I done wrong I am always so careful when operating machines. I was a Health and Safety Inspector in my past so I am aware of the risks. Took nearly 12 hours in two hospitals to get sorted.

Gosh you were lucky there Vic, those things don’t normally take prisoners. To be honest as I get older I find myself using machines less and less ( lathes excepted) Hand tools are so much more forgiving and usually just as quick if properly sharpened.
That lack of concentration for a split second. We’ve all been there at one time or another. I’ve got the tee shirt.
You had a close shave there Vic. Lucky you didn't come off much worse.
