So, is this what happens after turning 40!?
Returned to the hand ortho today to have the bandages removed and more x-rays. Everything is looking good and the hardware should come out August 8. Have a look!
So, is this what happens after turning 40!?

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) |
