You don’t realize how important your thumb is in your daily life until you can’t use it.
I somehow managed to jam my left thumb while going for a loose ball during the basketball game this morning. On my ride home this evening, shooting pain helped me identify the following actions which require my left thumb:
- Pulling the helmet strap tight
- Stretching the cargo net
- Opening my helmet visor
- Pulling in the clutch lever
- Turning the fuel petcock
- Operating my turn signals
- Operating the choke
- Blowing the horn at stupid cagers
- Loosening my helmet strap
- Taking my right glove off
Fortunately, I type spaces with my right thumb, so I can bitch about my boo-boo without undo difficulty. Lucky you.
