Assume you just sliced off the pad on your thumb. You got lucky cause it's really nice to have that opposable thumb even if it's not quite as pretty as it once was. Table saws are dangerous animals even when you take all the precautions that you did. Managed to cut off four fingers at the first joint on my left hand using a table saw. Has cut my finger nail trimming time nearly in half. Still can't go below without looking at the corner post on the hanging locker that ate my finger tips. Really, really, really need to pay attention when working with power tools.
