Hi Carol,
 
I'm a new subscriber and just want you to know that I am thinking of you while
you stew and worry about your son's hand.  My husband did virtually the same
thing except the saw was a little bigger. He is also a "string" man...acoustic
guitar..also
his left hand.   But his hand and fingers are all intact today and he has full
use of it
with no loss of dexterity or sensitivity .  I saw your post and just had to
let you know that it is going to be fine, I'm sure.
 
Looking forward to meeting you one day.
