My pinkie finger isn't naturally that short! It only became so after a brief attempt at flight off my bicycle came to a sudden end yesterday morning. After a very long day at the Jacobi Medical Center, most of which was spent sitting in the waiting area, x-rays were taken, the bone was set, more x-rays were taken and I was sent home. With luck the bone will heal properly, but I was told this type of fracture more often than not requires surgery. For now, though, I'm quickly gaining speed on the one-handed typing.

Oh no! I'm sorry to hear that. I bet that hurt an awful lot. Did they give you good pain meds?

Ouch. How's the rest of you after the flight? Best wishes for quick healing!

Thanks everyone! Surprisingly not too much pain. I've got a few scrapes, including one above my lip that resembles an infamous moustache.
Jeff, give my regards to the Swedes!
