30 years ago I got my right hand cuaght in a circular saw (skill saw). After several operations and years later I have no long term effects and I still have all my fingers. Just always think how lucky you are and how worse it could had been. I wish you a speedy recovery. Keep it clean and away from any moisture. I tried the vitamin E thing to help reduce scars but it didn't really do anything for me so my hand is pretty scared but no big deal. Like I said I've got all my fingers and they're all the right length. The hardest part is using the restroom with your other hand for a couple of months.
