I had chopped straight through the nail bed, through the bone, it stopped short of going through my finger tip. I had to have plastic surgery to put it back together because it was a nail bed injury.
It was pretty gross, I got to see the bone when they were cleaning it out. It healed up okay after surgery, it took about a year for my nail to grow back fully and I still have no feeling in the very tip of my finger.
also, after some digging I found a post op picture. They stitched my nail back on just to protect the stitches in my nail bed, it eventually fell off which was nice.
I hope yours heals up good. I bet you wont do it again aha.
