Good luck for a recovery. I lost one above the knuckle on my fury. I got it trapped in the alternator belt. I know how much it knacks.
Get well soon.

Oooh, not good. I'm sitting here with my thumb throbbing after I "caught it" with the lump hammer today; Wouldn't swap places
though.
Seen it twice. One was an apprentice at another garage I was visiting. He tod the boss he'd finished fixing a Kenlow kit to a car when the boss
said "Is it spinning the right way?". So he stuck his finger in to check! I could see him doing it and couldn't shout quick enough.
The other was a customer who lifted her Metros bonnet to check the oil, leaned on the engine (still running) and took her fingers off at the first
joint in the alternator fan.

they hammered nails into your hand!!?!!? that's NHS for ya! 
speedy recovery.
top tip - to see which way round a fan is rotating, turn off power to fan and as it comes to a stop, observe which way it was spinning.

Get well soon and hope everything is still where you had it a few weeks ago.

You might be in luck with your finger tips. A friend did something similar. But be warned when they removed the pins in his fingers he said it hurt
more than when he had the accident
How's the hospital food these days

I've got a straw - thing is , its sticking out the end of my finger !
From what I can see most other the badly damaged finger is still.there - it seems a lot of the damage was to the joint , so they were going to try and
fuse the end rather than cut it off .
First and second fingers are full of stitches as well , so not a lot of movement !
Its cuz I is blond , innit

As my teacher always was said. "Put your finger up if you want to be seen"
Claire, If your joint is damaged and they are going to fuse it then ask for it to be spun 180deg. It will help you get into them hard to reach places
to undo stuff on your car. What a great little LCB mod, we will all be jealous!!
Get well soon.

Just saw this, sounds very painful, must be horrible looking at it waiting for the pain to kick in!
