thumbs are important

I learned these things in school.  I read about it in journals.  Even heard and seen it on TV.  But it's not 'till one of 'ems outta commission that I realized how important thumbs really are.

Yes, one of mine is out of commission.  On Monday while cleaning, not slicing or chopping but cleaning my knife I sliced my right one...good.

Got stitches.
ugh.

Swollen thumb.
grrr.

Still can't feel it too much...actually, it feels like a million needles poking it everytime it's touched, and yet is still numb. {roll eyes}
ohhhhh.

Total inconvenience.
blerg.

And now I am realizing how much I use my thumb...now that I can't use it.

Try opening raw eggs with one thumb.  Not easy.  Or folding laundry.  Or buttoning  shirts.  Or putting a ponytail in your daughter's hair.  Or even navigating the mouse precisely.  All not easy.

But I'm surviving.  (drama, drama I know.)  =)
