Hands are a very delicate place to be injured. I cut the end of my finger off on a table saw about 10 years ago and required over 30 stitches to re-attach it. The funny thing was, I never had any feeling in the end of that finger for almost 4 years but I could feel pulses of pain inside the finger all the time. I got stitched up and went back to hammering again the next day but couldn't do it. The vibration was killing me. So I had to have the dressing changed daily and be off for 2 weeks, but it was Christmas time so it didn't matter. You must always be aware of the risks that surround your work space, even if you think you aren't at risk of bring injured.
I'm very glad to hear that all you got was a warning this time Derek, but please, be careful out there bud. The last thing we want to hear about is an unfortunate accident involving one of our extended family members here.
