Yep, they put it back on there. It took nearly a year for any feeling to return. For the rest of his life, when asked about it, he'd make a show of looking at both thumbs as if he didn't remember which one had been traumatically lopped off…

It always amazed me that they were able to perform such effective micro-surgery in 1969.
