The specialist says the wrist is broken. I am in a cast for 4 weeks. The cast is purple (my favorite color). This is a very small consolation.
A greater consolation: the cast, unlike the splint they gave me at urgent care, keeps my thumb and fingers free. So I can pinch things! It's glorious.
Also: I no longer have to shake anyone's hand, a custom I have never enjoyed. So many damp palms in the world.
In closing, my suggestion to you all is that, if you need to fall, make sure you keep your hands and arms out of the way.

That sounds like a vast improvement! I'm sorry it's still broken. I'm glad you have a purple cast.
