Hang in there Jay. Hand should feel fine in a day or so and you'll be fishing at some point this weekend.
Been there myself. Gibb's 3 oz bottle plug 2 out of 3 sets of trebles found their way into my hand. 3 barbs in all, 1 through and through and 2 buried (which I pushed through so I cut). About a 12#er thrashing on the other end but enough to make me nearly white out. I was alone which really sucked. Released the fish, walked a couple hundred yards to my vehicle, cut the hooks with a set of lineman's, splashed on some hand sanitizer (that really hurt), walked back to the water and soaked my hand for a moment and fished another hour or so.
Later on the Dr. Feel Goods needed a shot or two of Yukon and a few Newcastles to help keep the hand from reminding me of what happened.
