You Don't Miss What You Have Till It's Immobilized

After taping up my thumb I thought it was "cool" since it's sort of like a battle injury.  But now ... I'm realizeing how much I miss the use of my thumb fully!

I can barely hold things, and I can't grip a pen properly to write something while it's tapped up.  So we take our thumbs (amongst so many other things) for granted and when you can't use it 100% then we start to notice how life would be "without" that particular thing. 

Now I wait for this to heal so I can use it again and take it for granted yet again.  I'm just glad that it's not my wiping hand, that would have been tough!
