I just cut off the tip of my thumb.
I was prepping a marinade for pork chops, & the knife slipped. It only needed 4 stiches. Slightly graphic images next.

Tonight’s menu: pork chops with the chef’s special ingredient.
Hope it’s not too bad and it heals ok.

Just the tip ;)
Get it cleaned out good and it should heal fine.

I hope it h eals quickly.
I also hope they put a smaller dressing on it, otherwise it’ll stick out like a sore thu.............
I’ll get my coat.

When you said we’d see less of you, I didn’t think you meant there would literally be less of you to see.

I actually, jumped and full body cringed at that. That’s looks terrifyingly painful.

Ouch....that was quite the mishap! Hope it heals OK! Did they say anything about the feeling at the tip of your thumb once it heals?

Holy wow. You have an awesomely sharp knife.

I have nearly taken the end of my thumbs off more than once, but I’ve never done it that well. Good job !

You should get some of these cut resistant gloves.

Can’t feel what I’m cutting with them. I’ve tried them, don’t like them.

My dad cut off the the tops of his fingers on the table saw. It was right at the first nuckle. They only managed to see in the middle finger so he has a permanent bird on his left hand.

Hmm a couple things:
They reattached the tip I don’t know how much that’ll affect your sense of touch long term. When I cut the tip off my finger many years ago I threw the piece in the garbage, It eventually grew back with no loss of feeling, today I can’t even tell which finger it was.
Are those your work shoes? Because sandals aren’t safe for kitchen work. You don’t want to risk another injury.

Hey, a cut-thumb buddy! I got four stitches on my right thumb when I gashed it on a bandsaw at my previous job. Good thing I didn’t cut the whole thumb off.

It happen at home. At work I have close toe non-slip shoes.

Lidocane on the outside, then digital nerve block. No biggie.

It’ll probably be fine once it’s healed. I deg lo ved my left index finger up to the cuticle a few years ago. It was a 27 stitch repair, and included utilizing the nail as a sewn on “platform” to shape the tip. It works just fine now. Is just a little less “plush” on the tip than it o nce was.

Yeouch! Welcome to the club! I managed to slice/smash off the ends of two fingers in two separate events. Feeling came back in the smashed one, but the other is still numb 20+ years later. Yours doesn’t look too bad. As long as it didn’t kill the nerve, you should get feeling back in time. Good luck!
