I currently have a brace on my right hand due to torn ligaments in my thumb. The stupid thing is I have NO idea how I tore the ligaments! (No...it wasn't the rum!) I was just typing away at my computer and all of a sudden my thumb started hurting like crazy.
????????
Serious moment:
Be careful with that thumb. They're kinda like your back...once you hurt them forget it. When I was 12 I was walking up the stairs with 2 glass bottles of milk and missed the last step. Crash went the bottles and I fell on the glass. Cut through my plam clear on thru the thumb joint (bone was sticking out!). The Dr. put the thumb back in place and I had plastic surgery...3 layers of stitches. It hasn't been the same since. Very little strength (I tore tendons and ligaments) I also can now predict the weather!
Now we know where Katie get her grace! :lol:
