Did I miss something in another post ? What did you do to your left hand and thumb ? If I dare ask.

Bill, On 18 May I was doing some woodworking with my table saw. I was cutting some thin Teflon after some thicker red oak. I neglected to lower the saw blade & while I was cutting the Teflon, using a push stick, the work piece moved and I reached for it with my left hand. I bounced my left thumb off the blade, also pulling my left index finger into the blade. I took about 3/4 inch off the thumb & ripped up the ulnar (pinky) side of my index finger. The good news is that I still have the thumb knuckle & about 3/4 of an inch beyond the knuckle so I can still grip things. My index finger is still intact but numb from the pip (second) joint up to the tip on the ulnar side. I'm currently in physical therapy to regain the range of motion of both the thumb & finger. Things are getting better usage wise, but I have a ways to go to get to full usage. I am blessed that we have some awesome hand surgeons & therapists in our area, so I believe I'm in good hands (pun intended). I'm in far better shape than a lot of people in this world & I will work my butt off to make as full a recovery as possible.
Hi Bill, things like that happen in an instant!Bill K wrote: ↑Wed Jul 13, 2022 9:08 am Sounds bad enough, in what occured. Sure could have been worse. Have a friend that did simular, but he lost a left hand finger ( first one from the thumb) all the way up to the first joint/knuckle. He thought he was lucky. In some ways both of you and he were. Those saws can sure get you first, with just one quick misstep.
