Appreciation for the Thumb Tip

Since my incident on Thursday I have really developed an appreciation for thumbtips.
First of all, since I have no thumbtip, my sensitivity has skyrocked. If anything so much as flutters past my thumbtip, it hurts like hell! So here is a short list of things that are nearly impossible to do without a thumbtip.

Almost Impossible to Do:
Wipe. I'm right handed. Not very talented with the left in this category.
Put on earings.
Shuffle cards.
Zip.
Put on a seat belt.
Start my car.
Pick up a pen.
Carry anything in my right hand.
Get something out of my pocket.
Use a scissor.

Very Hard to Do:
Type.
Write.
Shampoo my hair.
Brush my teeth. Again, I'm a righty. Hard to do with the left.
