He's impressed that Luke's gotten through both fairly easily. ] Yeah, it'll swell since we haven't been icing it. But it should go back to normal, it didn't feel like a bad fracture. [ There's a pause. ] You're doing better than I did. I just curled up in bed and couldn't go to school the next day.
