Reading DU from the hospital was oddly comforting. Free wi-fi and they never tried to take my iPad. Even posted a bit from there. Internet access was a huge boon, especially given the TV got local Fox but not MSNBC.

Mending well, I think. Appointment tomorrow for X-ray and possibly a smaller splint, which I hope will let me get back to work.

Thanks for asking. It was cool seeing all the support from DUers when someone posted about my accident. Those "good vibes" threads really do some good, I think.

Stay off of ladders.
