Sorry I didn't get back to you before -- I was sort of looped on Vicodin yesterday. But as I said to Jackie, do not fret for even a moment; the ice was all over the place Tuesday, and I just needed to be more attentive to where I was stepping. I didn't really plan to go to the ER until I was about halfway home and it started throbbing and hurting, and I really didn't expect to be sitting there that long (it wasn't *crowded* or anythimg, it's just like time went into some alternate-dimension non-moving loop. Plus, TV blatting Suze Orman and the public TV membership drive oh god kill me NOW.)

I now have a sleek little black cast and can type much more easily than with the splint, which is a relief.

And ack, I don't know if I'll see you again before you head off to England -- if not, have a fabulous time! Take pictures and notes to bring back!
