Fingers not broken

But it is swollen as a sausage. The Urgent Care doctor did an x-ray - looks clear - and splinted it.

Got a lecture - the middle finger, specifically the main knuckle joint on the middle finger, controls 40-45% of the range of motion in the hand. So it's really important to ice it, immobilize it, coddle it so that it doesn't get fibrosis.

Lovely. It's really hard to type with a splint on - we won't even talk about how I'm holding a pencil.
