(((Hugs to you))) I hope that you recover soon. What a scary ordeal!
If it's any consolation, you've prompted me to look into getting a guard. If there are any good reccomendations of "guard products" out there, now's the time to post.

Ouch, that had to hurt. Fortunately, I've only taken little slices out of my fingertips, although I did have an altercation with my wand blender - never keep your finger on the on button when sticking your fingers where they don't belong. I think we've all been there to some degree or another. Hope your finger is doing better.

Do get better quickly. I have been wearing a Fons and Porter glove on my left hand to avoid accidents. They are not steel mesh or anything, but are supposed to offer some protection. I -- thankfully -- have not had an accident since I started wearing it and so don't know how well it works. Perhaps you can try one when you are back to cutting.

When I was teaching classes several years ago, the store rule to our students was.....if you leave the rotary cutter open and walk away, you have to pay a 25 cent fine to the kitty. Don't know if it helped but it did keep our students more aware to close the cover when they walked away from the mat.
