Glad you wasn't hurt bad. That could've been ALOT worse.

If you have not had a tetanus shot in the last 10 years you need to get one soon. Better to be safe than sorry. Glad to hear it was not serious

not too much but everyone has a slip up here and there esp when your working on your own house and rushing, seems like i do more dumb things at home than at work, at work im probaly the safest guy on the job. i got my osha 10 and 30 certificate as well as psm and scaffolding card, but for some reason i tend work not as safe at home?

It might explain why you got the whole lack of safety thing going on there. Everything seems like a good idea after some courage juice.

Had a similar accident a few years ago cutting owens foam board but went into my calf. Looks like you have health insurance, or good with a needle and thread! 3 packs of walgreens stiches did the trick with of course a little duct tape. Wouldn't recommend it to anyone but saved me a few bucks. Could you see your knee cap?

Yes, I could see the kneecap. I couldn't find my surgical kit, So I ended up going to the ER. I was gonna sew it myself, but the DOC had a hissy fit. He did let me take pics while he sewed. They're one my phone. I need to pull the mini SD to get them since I don't do TM.
Yes the teeth got the kneecap too. Believe me, you can count the teeth as they rattle across bone.
I was only able to work for aanother 2 hours after this. I kept duct taping it together, but it kept bleeding anyway and the butterfly tapes wouldn't hold.

That had to sting a little bit.
I PROBABLY wouldn't question your manhood if you went to see a doctor about that one.
