A Bad Break

7/9/2011

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)
