I took the splint off today. Typing is still awkward, in part because I keep forgetting that I can use it (amazing how completely you can learn a new habit in only four weeks), and in part because it's quite stiff and a little bit numb and tires easily.
The tip is definitely not 100% straight (har har), but range of motion is returning, and I don't care if it's a little unsightly as long as I can use it. I'll see how it goes.
okay
