Thank Goodness for Thumbs

Ok...I don't personally find my smashed thumb offensive or gross (it's just a run of the mill black nail), BUT if you think you will, then you should go ahead and skip this post.

We all good? Ok.

So guess what I did Sunday? I decided it would be fun to smash my thumb in the car door! Yeah! No, but really...holy crap did that hurt. Admittedly, I'm a bit of a baby when it comes to pain, but I think this would be painful for just about anybody. So this whole ordeal has really made me thankful for my thumbs. Almost everything I do involves my thumb in some way, so of course life is a little more difficult without it. I decided you guys might like a completely useless list of things that are difficult with a smashed thumb. You're welcome!

COMPLETELY USELESS LIST OF THINGS THAT ARE DIFFICULT WITH A SMASHED THUMB

1. texting (on a full keypad)
2. typing (spacebar in-particular)
3. using the bathroom (tmi, i know...but for real)
4. buttoning anything (since when do ALL THE THINGS have buttons?!)
5. pulling clothes from the bottom of the stack (as I so often love to do)
6. turning the page of a book (shut up you crazy digital book readers)
7. turning a key (front door, car ignition)
8. pulling out a wedgie (i do this way too much)
9. tying your shoes
10. pulling your hair into a ponytail
11. picking up my fat cat
12. opening a soda bottle 
13. UPDATE: making dinner (from CB) 
14. UPDATE: cutting with a knife (from CB) 
15. UPDATE: using a lighter (from CB)

There are plenty more, but I know you guys are yawning now...don't feel bad, I would be too.

What else would be hard with a smashed thumb? If you can think of anything else I could add, let me know and I'll add it and give you credit!

In case you are very concerned about my well-being, fret not. Nurse Paul put a couple of holes in the nail and it is slowing but surely starting to feel better. I'm on the road to recovery!
