Let's hope is heals properly, those kind of cuts can get real nasty if they aren't cleaned properly.

Sounds like you got a bit luckier than me. I smashed my middle finger 20 years ago on my right hand in a die when the brakes on the crane gave way...smashing it with the weight of 1900 pounds between two blocks of steel with a gap of 0.090. When it hit, blood shot out, making it look like I smashed a blood filled tick! The ex-ray looked like broken glass, and they weren't sure if it could be saved. They ended up pinning it and hoping for the best. I still don't have full mobility of it, and it's always getting in my way, but i still have it.

Good luck and speedy recovery.
