Having had almost a week of to carry out some joinery work on the wife’s new market stall I had a little problem with my compound mitre saw .
RIP finger.
ouch
My father in law down something similar last year but he had accident with a circular saw with his left thumb a few mth off then back to work np
hope you had your PPE on you know hat boots hi-viz 
That had to hurt rest up buddy
Still got 9 left, be thankful it wasn’t your full hand. I thought they could reattach fingers and toes nowadays. NHS cuts? 
A couple of years ago I cut the tendon in my little finger, the hospital told me I would need three months off work, I asked them how long would I have to take if they amputated the finger, they told me likely a few weeks. I said cut it off then, they refused.
So after six weeks I just told my own doctor the physio said I could go back to work and got me a back to work note, I think work new I blagged it to get back
My uncle caught his finger in ships hatch it cut it off, he was back on the ship three days and did the same thing again to the other hand
I did cut in to my middle finger, but no tendon damage. The hospital staff were fantastic in my 2 night stay with them.

One & a half reasons why I don’t do diy. That even looks painful.
Hope you have a speedy recovery mate. Can’t even begin to imagine what that was like.
It’s the phantom finger that nags more than the wife. Imagine banging your funny bone and times it by ten and you get the idea.
Not good!! Stay away from DIY!! Get well soon 
If it’s any consolation the index finger is actually the most useless of your fingers
Edit to add pic of forums.

Did you mention the beer arm in some kind of underhand way to increase my sympathies for your injury?
