Post-op hand
During a recent Wednesday night soccer game, Sean suffered a broken right thumb. Stepped on. Sparing the details of how it happened (over zealous opposing player), the break turned out to be pretty bad. For a week, Sean was in a splint, followed by a check up with new X-rays. Things were not lining up, so to speak, and the doc recommended surgery: ORIF (open reduction internal fixation) with external fixation. Bottom line = pins for 4-6 weeks.
The real reason for this post is to point out how important one's dominant-hand thumb is. Try it for a while. Don't use it. It's tough! So, without further ado, are Sean's top 5 most difficult things to do without his right thumb:
5. Tie a necktie (impossible)
4. Apply deodorant to his left armpit
3. Type/write/mouse
2. Shave/brush teeth
1. Finish up number 2 (graphic, yet true)
