... typing with a splint on is a huge pain in the ass.
Calling an orthopedist in a little while to hopefully get seen asap.

Just got home from the orthopedist, and it went about as well as possible.
I have a splint, and instructions to take it off to perform ROM/stretch every hour or so. No pins, screws, or other aftermarket bits. I go in for a followup next week.
Further good news was that the break was clean and goes back into place easily, and that my course of RICE means I have almost no swelling to deal with.
I wish the splint was fractionally less curved, b/c it still gets in the way of typing and mousing a bit, but far less than the temporary one did.
