YOWZER!!!! I cut my thumb very badly~~

OUCH! I cut my thumb very deeply this morning so i am more awful with my typing than usual! I am here on the boards but reading not much typing and for big mouth me, that's so hard. But it got me thinking.....because I can barely do anything without my right thumb....which of our senses or body parts would you have the hardest time giving up? or easiest? Think about it.....and think about how we take it soooooo for granted. Well, I did, at least.

P.S. and it has been VERY awful and funny trying to do anything today. My buttons are all wrong and my hair is a mess. I think i even have toothpaste on my cheek i didn't see before. Swell. I'm a mess!

Oh Good Grief, Elizabeth! You left that WIDE OPEN for someone like Ryan to answer!

Sorry about your thumb

Ouchie!!! I feel for ya. A few weeks ago I cut my thumb too, took off a small part of the top of it!

Probably taste. And talk about guaranteed weight loss! (as I sit here munching on M&Ms)

Oh, I didn't see the poll Good thing you have choices

Ouch, sorry about the thumb!
I voted the thumb as maybe the only body part I could do without... either that or a toe... my boyfriend actually lost part of one of his toes to a barracuda! Ouch!!! (Fortunately, it was reattached)

Sorry to hear about your thumb!!! That can be painful.

I couldn't give up my sight!!! I can do without hearing (I'm deaf!) LOL.

OH- I screwed up on the poll- I thought it was for what you COULDN'T give up so I voted for sight instead of hearing. Anyone can change my vote in the poll for me?

I voted two front teeth - that way I can have false teeth (cheating) and not really miss them too much at all. Plus I could scare all the kids who call at my door on Halloween if I took them out

Eddie - so sorry about your thumb look after yourself and I hope it gets better soon.

I voted for my knee, 'cause weeks when it hurt like it did the other day I'd cheerfully chop it off and be an amputee!

LOL Pamela. I already do without my hearing as well so I voted hearing

There's a word for that in sports you know.....just can't remember... double advantage or something????

Man, that's tough! I voted for 2 front teeth because Beth made a good argument for that. I remember being without my 2 front teeth during the summer as a kid, and besides not being able to eat corn on the cob very well it wasn't that bad.

I just remember what Mom had to go through with chemo. She lost her taste, said everything tasted like cardboard. She was so miserable. Then she basically lost the use of her fingertips because they were so sensitive. She couldn't do anything! It was so sad to watch; she couldn't write, she couldn't type, could barely even hold a cup or eating utensils. So I couldn't see myself willingly giving up any finger/fingertips or taste, or smell for that matter since it is so tied into taste.

Awww E, so sorry to hear all of this, but is there any chance you could share a pic of yourself with us right now???

oh don't EVEN tempt me, young lady.

I'm tempting, I'm tempting!!!!

I can tell you something that will make you feel better E- A few years ago, Mike was in the shop working on a knife. He had it on the grinder and the blade caught, flipped in the air. Out of instinct, the idiot reached up to "catch" it. He caught it all right, it went right though his palm because it landed blade side down! OUCH! And that was the first time I ever saw him rush to the doctor's!

Sure, Susie. It took some doing, but I managed to press the remote control on the camera with my thumb. Do ya see it????

I can sympathize, Eddie. I cut my thumb so badly several weeks ago that I ended up going to the ER for stitches, and it was sore for weeks.
As to the poll, I had to go with hearing, because I already have severe hearing loss, and have been informed that it is progressing and not reversible. I've more or less given up on music, but otherwise manage okay.

Hope you don't get an itch!
