Unhappy Ouch!

Well I've got some good news and some bad news, and I was wondering how many people this has happened to:

Last monday (not today!) I passed my green belt test, for which I'd been training for what seems like an eternity (a whole month!). In our dojo, that basically means that I get to run with the big dogs, so I'm understandably proud.

However, this saturday, in class, I busted up the little finger on my left hand; it was an accident involving a misplaced ukemi on my part, and another student ukemi-ing right onto my little finger. Ouch!!!

I'll be out of action for about 22 days, so I have two questions:

1) Has this sort of unbelievably bad luck happened to anyone else, and how long were you put of action?

2) What is a good way to keep up my "fighting shape" while I'm away, so I don't lose too much in the meantime?

Thanx.
