That was how long it took to change the way I did practically EVERYTHING! I hated to complain, but OH MY life is hard without a thumb. When I first shut it in the car door, I screamed but got over the initial shock. I was fine in the ER even, but sometime in the middle of the night (even on pain meds), it kicked in and I have never felt something throb and ache so bad in my life. Such a small little part of my body, but such a large lesson in how something so small can affect you in such a large way! As I type this (4 months later), it still hurts to the touch and to bend it. I spent 2 months in a thumb cast and am still working on being able to bend it all the way.
