Sticky Wicket

Bloody hell, I have a mallet finger. The tendon may have snapped completely or only part way, the x-ray only shows my bones, which are fracture free. To heal correctly, the splint is angled upwards and I have to wear the sucker for 6 weeks. I typically heal quickly, so I am hoping by 4 weeks it looks all pointy again. I'm making an appointment with an orthopedist just to double-check the damned thing. Now there's an upside to having been way too busy to play violin these past few months -- I'd be really pissed if I were on a musical roll. Now I just have to avoid wacking or scratching Yelena with the splint.
