Ended up having emergency hand surgery and may need another surgery on it since spending another two weeks using my hand to pour fuel into a generator don't seem to have helped the healing tendon at all for some odd reason.

I just keep on thinking if only I had gotten the cheaper cement roof tiles instead the fancy clay tiles when I got a new roof last year the broken pieces wouldn't have been sharp enough to have cut me. lol

What really gets me is that we had spent two days using chain saws removing broken tree limbs and doing other dangerous stuff and then on day three when I'm just picking up little broken pieces of stuff I get injured.

OUCH!

That just sucks big time. It's Murphy's law that dictates you won't cut your leg off with a chainsaw, but you'll bleed to death from a paper cut...

It's one of them things that will take months to heal as well, plus even after the next op (if you need it) you'll have physio to go through to get your hand functioning again.
