Glad they saved it. i cut the tip off my left thumb in college cutting cardboard with an exacto knife. The doctor in the emergency room sewed it back on.

About four years later cut the same thumb to the bone just behind the first knuckle. it is still 99.5% usable with slight loss of feeling in the thumb tip.

I bet crushing it like you did hurt a lot more!
