I'm trying to figure out how you're still typing on Sowal. Must be hen pecking. 
The thumb pics (not for the squimish)

WOW! That's impressive. Wanna see pictures of my uterine fibroid surgery? They're really gross...
Holy crap! The EXACT same thing happened to me just over a year ago - while doing potatoes. SAME hand, SAME injury location! I'm relapsing into trauma as I type this.I felt like a total idiot because I KNEW I should have been more careful - I was so pissed at myself. Now I don't use any sort of implement that even comes close to putting my poor little digits in that position. Plus, I'm a whole lot more consciously aware when using a knife or any other cutting tool.
The good news my stellar hombre is that it will most likely heal in a way that you'll never know anything gnarly happened when looking at it. My thumb looks totally normal.
I'm pullin' for ya! THUMBS UP!
Sorry to hear about that part. I know it sounds maybe strange and stupid, but when mine happened I fished the chunk of meaty thumb-flesh out of the kitchen sink drain using a fork, soaped it up real heavy and poured peroxide all over it, dressed my own thumb after putting the piece back where it belonged. After that I just cleaned the area several times daily and disinfected. It grew back together and now I can hitch a ride with total pride.
Still doesn't get rid of the 'retarded' feeling that comes over me every time I think about it.
Well I hope it heals up real quick for ya and that it's not hurting.
Me, I'd lie and tell people I got that wound on the battlefield over in Iraq or on a super-secret mission "back in my days as a Navy SEAL." People will buy you free drinks if you go that route.

My dad once cut a chunk out of his forearm with one of those drywall cutting knives. He looked down at the floor to see if he could find the flesh, and the cat was chewing on something which he quickly swallowed.
