Can't quite put my finger on it...

Okay.  So I'm working on a camel-back trunk for my kids' late Christmas present.  I'm using the table saw to rip slats for the lid at a nice 84 deg angle.  I'm being safe: protective eye-wear, earplugs, and a pusher so my hands don't get too close to the blade on these small slats.  It's all good.  Until, out of nowhere, a huge sneeze wracks my body.  Now big sneezes hurt me anyway because of my back injuries, but this time my right hand ring finger decides it's time to visit with Mr. Sawblade.  Can you say "Not good, Mr. Finger?"

Well I'm bleeding, but not as badly as you might expect.  Because I was using the pusher I only caught the tip of the finger.  Chewed it pretty well, but it's mostly intact.  Called my wife, and had her take me to our family doctor which was probably faster than an ER visit.  Heck, it didn't even require stitches.  Did take a little debriding, though.  In case you aren't familiar with that, the doctor numbed my finger then began to scrape and cut away the ragged edges and tags of skin and meat so that it would heal faster.  Bandages and tape and a finger splint for protection, and I'm done.  Slows me down.  It's a pain in the butt, but I still have a finger, and it will heal.

Actually typing this is a pain right now.  :)
