Richard, sorry to hear about you accedent. Get well soon. I know how you feel. About 8 years ago I was ripping pickets for a fence I was building. After I ripped one of the pickets i looked away (for some stupid reason) and my left hand dangled into the blade of my table saw. It didn't really hurt that much until I saw what I had done, thats when I started screaming. I lost my middle and index fingers and got the side of my thum, which works OK. It gets better as time goes on, but makes you watch that blade closer.
