Survival and Emergency Preparedness

Well, as I type this it's with my hand hand. I broke my wrist this morning. Just got home from the ER about an hour ago. I'm all splinted up and in a sling. Will be making an appointment with a hand surgeon tomorrow. Shoulder and hip got banged up a bit as well.

I thank the Lord it happened to my left because I'm right-handed. Same as when I broke my hand a few years back.

So it makes me aware of the limitations I'll have over the next couple of months. Looks like I'll be either pocket carrying or using a Sticky Holster because I can't put on my normal OWB holster.

So that was my day.

Sorry to hear, Dave. How'd you break it?

Always good to practice when it isn't an emergency.

By letting my brain write a check my body couldn't cash. I thought I could hop a gate...and I was wrong. Very stupid on my part, and very embarrassing

Those checks get harder to cash as we get older.

Yes, definitely a wake up call. I use to hop walls like that as part of my PAT. Painful lesson learned.

Had my son take the TLR-6 off my P365 so that it can fit in my Sticky Holster. I'll have to either pocket carry or IWB. I'll have to play with it to see what works. And I have the LCP 2 as well.

Also makes me glad I know one-hand manipulations like reloading and malfunction drills.

Glad it is nothing more serious than a broken wrist.

Praying for a speedy recovery.

feel better ...

Oh man, sorry to hear of your injury.

Note to self.....be careful working around property

We knew it was nothing to be proud of when you didn't include it in the original post...LOL

Got a one handed tourniquet? Just in case?
