There was a lot of blood, but they managed to save his thumb, with only some permanently reduced mobility and numbness.

Eh .... I've already managed to have my thumb on my right hand ripped off ... so, I can say with authority that there is a lot of blood when that happens. They managed to reattach my thumb as well, they said I would have reduced mobility and numbness ... they were wrong on that count, although my grip is maybe a little weaker in my right hand as a result.
And ... what your late mother in law's idiot neighbor did was seriously stupid. I will admit that my action with respect to my table saw was not quite on that level of stupidity, it was still pretty damn stupid.
Although ... I do now have a nice base for my miter saw. So, I guess it's an ill wind .... and all that stuff.
