i am not telling dan; he would just worry needlessly.
I think he'll be pissed if he comes home and finds you in a cast.
I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I'm siding with Hec, here. Tell Dan. Tell him you're fine, but TELL HIM. (Speaking as someone who is trying to learn to tell her loved ones when something is wrong. Ahem.)

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
"Cats purr during both inhalation and exhalation with a consistent pattern and frequency between 25 and 150 Hertz. Various investigators have shown that sound frequencies in this range can improve bone density and promote healing."
OMG this sounds like bullshit, but I loved it!
Vote 3: tell Dan.

Oh, no, Erin. Don't do what I do. If it's any consolation, breaking the bone in my hand was my least painful major injury. Is it your good hand? Did they put a bulky bandage on it to immobilize it?
Have you called your health insurance? I say that because I had to pay additional money because the hand surgeon that was recommended charged more than "reasonable and customary."
I, like Jilli, am trying to learn to tell people when something is wrong. However, I might split the difference and tell him after you have the cast on, because then you'll have more information.

Spouses tend to notice these kinds of things.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Oh, not telling him before he gets home? Possibly more forgivable. He'll scold you, but he may be persuaded by the logic of "Well, there wasn't anything you could do, and you would have just worried."
edit: Though that didn't really work when Hubby had a heart attack. But that's a whole different level of "Eh, it's nothing."

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
If it were me on the other side, who is a perennial worrier, I would still be super pissed if I wasn't told.
