Finger update
As long as I'm here, I wanted to mention that my finger is healing well!
I saw the doctor last week and he was pleased with my progress, so he took me out of the permanent splint and put me in a plastic one that's easier to take off and put on. For two weeks, I'll wear it most of the time, taking it off to gently exercise the joint a couple of times a day. Then I'll wear it only while sleeping for another two weeks, and after that I should be done. The fingertip still droops a little bit, but less every day, and I'm now able to hold it straight with a little effort. So it's all good news, except that the new splint is actually harder to type with than the old one. But I'll take a mild annoyance for two weeks if it means I'm more likely to get full range of motion back.
