I found the part where you were calm as soon as it happened interesting. My dad lost half of his middle, ring and pinky fingers on his left hand in a similar accident. He repairs machinery for a living, and one day he was working on a pillow feather shredding machine. He turned it off, had a brain fart and forgot to wait for the blades to stop rotating and reached in. He pulled out half a hand, looked at it for a moment, quietly walked over to his boss and said simply, "I need to go to the hospital." It's amazing how the body reacts in the most dire situations in order for you to get your shit together so survival is possible. Thanks for the story though, and I'm sorry for your loss, I can (kind of) understand your predicament, and it's good to know that you have a positive outlook on this whole thing.
