    Shooting hand?

    Either way I'm sorry to hear that. Hope you have a speedy recovery.

    Man, that sucks. I know how Texas folk get easily confused by ice when it's not located in a tea glass! I should have warned you; it took me a while to realize how slippery that stuff is.

    Hope you heal up soon!

    Now would be a good time to practice weapons manipulation on your non shooting hand with your EDC.

    Um... yeah. And other 'personal' chores take some distinct learning, as well.

    Hope that heals quickly!

    Ouch! Sorry about that Doodle.

    buttoning your jeans will be the least of your problems. Wait till its time to get off the toilet. That'll be an interesting exercise.

    Ice is so unforgiving. One more reason I moved to FL.
