Re: RPI Recruiting II: Knowlton's Rangers (enlistments open)
And it really is the most important digit for it is involved in virtually every move of the fingers. A simple sprain can be a 6 week ordeal if it is severe enough. I recall assisting on a tendon operation on a golfer's thumb and he was out of commission for 6 months. I am not a hand surgeon but have a friend who is-he recommends rehab for far longer periods of time than I ever considered. Here's hoping JL is back 100% very soon.
I hope its not too serious.. the thumb is pretty exposed to contact and stick checks, glove or no.
