Good news!
Everything is proceeding in a good way. Can start ditching the splint and get back to doing things a bit more normally.
The overriding instructions were "don't do anything stupid" (sir, this is a Wendy's) and "listen to your body" (fuck that guy).
Probably going to keep the splint on at night as doing something in my sleep is probably the most likely way I am going to Hurt Something.
