Sorry the hear about your bad luck Mike. Hope you are back at the bench soon.
I've had two hobby knife mishaps in my life. The most recent about 20 years ago, using an X-acto knife to try and cut through a zip tie (yea, not even hobby related). It was a pretty dumb Idea and it happened right about the time I realized that fact
. I sliced the top of my hand open between my thumb and index finger. Still have a 1/2 inch scar -- don't remember how many stiches it was. The first incident occurred when I was a teenager. The X-acto knife fell on the floor somehow and I did not see it. Had no shoes on and when I moved my foot the entire length of the blade went into the side of my heel. I pulled it out and a gush of blood came with it. I squeezed my heel together a few minutes until it stopped bleeding and never told my parents. Not sure how it healed up (No Pun Intended) without medical attention...
I had a cyst removed last year; I was on my stomach with my feet hanging off the table. When the doctor began numbing (yeah, right) the already very tender area, it hurt so damned much! My wife was sitting in with me and she said my toes were curling under! No sh*t. And she kept right on sticking me...until it was, thankfully, numb.
