It is repairable. Although I really don't know the cost of a job like that compared to the value of the guitar.

Not worth it on an Epiphone Les Paul. That's why I suggested the Stewmac kit.

What did you learn from this?

Take the guitar with me to the bathroom next time!

Called two shops in Nola yesterday and both can fix it. Both said they can basically glue it back and get it playing like it was, but not pretty for around $150-$200, depending on how clean the break is. Paint and finish would be more.

The guy at Strange Guitar said he has a process of taking away then adding wood. Then they match to the finish and it's around $750. I'm not doing all that, but I would love to watch this process.

Either way, I'll be out of a guitar for 4-8 weeks (repair backlogs and holidays). I'll likely get it fixed, but use this opportunity to look for and buy a strat and play it in the mean time.
