I thought it had only just barely touched the skin but it cut me real deep. Blood hit the wall over a metre away.
Anyway it was hospital for me. I had managed to stem the flow and was taken into Emergency straight away. I have now come out of theatre with a dressing. I have stitches and they say I nicked an artery.
Shit happens....I will be fine.
I feel your pain!
About 20 years ago I had an angle grinder wheel fly to bits. It hit the lower parts of 2 fingers on my left hand. Trip to A&E & about 5 hrs later after they re-joined a tendon & a few other bits of repair, I went home. Its all fine now.
Good Luck with it!
