She didn't (luckily) lose any of her finger, although it was a close run thing. It was the last two phalanxes that were damaged. I have no doubt that in time she will make a 100% recovery, but it is slow progress. She complains about strange feelings in her hand and a cold sensation when she uses the damaged finger.

Ouch! ((holding my finger imagining the pain)), that must have been extremely painful. I used to use a stick blender myself , but no longer have it.
How much of her finger did she lose or damage ?

A few months back, my daughter caught her left forefinger on the blade of a stick blender. She underwent reconstructive surgery and has had lots of physio to get things back to normal. As she's left-handed, it's made life rather difficult for her.

You really need to be careful with stick blenders. Daughter has now thrown hers away.
