Ouch, Ray. Like they say, a lesson earned is a lesson learned. If true, I have earned a fortune.

the healing time will depend on how many times that I hit the sore spot , usual a week will be time enough to heal

Oooo I did that once about 40 years ago. Peeled a chunk of my left index finger right back. Its still got a little bit of deformity at the tip. Never did it again though. Without thinking, I just reached across the spinning 4 jaw chuck and bang.. Wow that hurt..
