Glad your ok. Safety first!
I've done almost the same. Now my knuckles will ALWAYS take the hit as yours will too
I can remember my dad rushing in as a kid from working on the car. We ended up calling the paramedics. He had some how sprayed himself with gas while working on the carb of our ford farmont! He had gas in his eyes and the medics flushed them for him.
