Opposable Thumbs Rock!

Have you ever thought about opposable thumbs?

No, really. Have you ever thought about them?

Opposable thumbs rock. They allow you to do all sorts of things that very few other creatures on Earth can do. They have become such a part of our daily routine that we never think about them anymore. We just use them and ignore them.

I know this because at the moment I only have use of one of my thumbs due to a rather stupid accident. Until I can use my left thumb without wincing I'm going to have all sorts of problems (at least I'm right handed). It's a real pain to button pants and tie shoes without using one thumb. You should try it sometimes. But of course I still try to use it because the action is so automatic, and then I am left in a great deal of pain.

Yes, I'm whining. I promise to shut up soon.

Entries will be curtailed until I can type without feeling pain run through my bones. Also until I sort out some fairly life changing events.

That is all.
