Sheesh, Jerry! Really sorry to hear this, but you were lucky as it could have been worse.

I worked as a sawyer in a plastics manufacturing company in 1973 after failing out of college. One day, my older partner on a table saw didn't pay attention and the next thing I was doing after calling the safety guy while others applied direct pressure was searching for his thumb in the saw dust vacuum chute. Found it, put it in ice and it went with him to the ER. It was too mangled to stitch back, but he came back a month later.

Two weeks later the guy running an 8' band saw had the blade separate and fly off and embed itself in his chest like an 'S." That was really ugly, he survived but went on disability. Very dangerous factory. I soon transferred to a dept rolling fabric around mandrels, less pay, but safer and less blood. Six months later I thought trying college again might be good, at least for my health.

Heal up fast, friend!
