I have a Broken arm :(

General
So, I was having a couple cocktails (rum and diet coke of course), and I accidentally let my folk's indoor-cats outside. I Got one inside, but the other was by our driveway: THE CHASE IS ON.
So, I ran after him, and just as I got to him, he cut to right and tripped me up. I rolled my right ankle (which happens every once and a while) and began to fall backwards. I used my right arm to brace, which immediately resulted in a very, very painful hyper-extension. Of course, my forward momentum caused my chin to bounce off the pavement and cause me to shatter the glass in my hand, mildly slicing my thumb and left hand.
So, after applying ice and a half a day thinking I dislocated it, I knew I needed a hospital trip when I couldn't move my elbow more than a inch.
The diagnosis is a hairline fracture of the radius, just away from the elbow joint. I'll be in a splint and sling for at least a month, probably 9 weeks until full-recovery + additional weight training. I am very thankful that it didn't compound or shatter: that would have required an a implant.
I was thinking about starting commissions soon, but that's definitely out the window for the time being. If any of you are interested, I could talk about potential ideas and scenes but i can't draw right now.
Now you guy know why I am a dog-person :/
