Luckily Sarah's mom is a nurse, so after we decided that the hospital wouldn't be able to do much for me other than bandage, we made a quick trip to CVS for supplies, patched me up, and had dinner, only slightly delayed...
In any case, I won't be lifting for at least a week, maybe more, depending on how long this takes to heal up. I'm going to try going to spin on Wednesday, but since my office Christmas party is Tuesday night, I'm guessing that won't happen, so I'm actually off for the week.

Damn ... that sucks, Pete. I hope you heal fast. Is it too soon to joke about you ironically being "all thumbs"?
Seriously, though, heal soon brother.
First day not completely goofing off. Did squats, working my way up, for a half hour or so. Didn't get up that heavy -- 275 is where I stopped, I think. I didn't want to push it ... especially since my lower back is still hurting from falling down the stairs.
Did some rack walk-outs to see what the weight felt like on my back. They were fine. I think I stopped those at 455 or so. Piece of cake.
Did some deadlifts and a bunch of weighted abs stuff after that. Stretched, took my PWD #1, and left.
Chest & tris tomorrow....
