Notes

Most all swelling gone except for along outside of hand/wrist from middle knuckle on pinkie down to along ulna bone. Bruising in same area, along with around wrist front to back. Triquetrum bone in back of hand and lower / outside ulna bone very tender touch. If there's a fracture, its in one or both of these.

Will forgo weightlifting and wear my splint another 2-3 weeks and see where things are.

Punch between the eyes reminder of how important it is to take care of yourself. Typically overweight, soft boned 60-year old man falls in the park at 6:00 a.m. and waits for someone to come along, or walks to nearest available place to call for a ride to ER. Probably ends up having to get arm set, put in a hard cast, and potential surgery to repair ligament damage. In my case, able to get up, shake it off, jog another two miles home, then do deadlifts before realizing how banged up things were.
