Health scare
Y'all may not have known, but I've been having some health problems lately, specifically with my hip/lower back. I've been having all kinds of excruciating pain lately due to a reinjury, and I noticed something somewhat gun related the other day that really, really scared me
My gun hand, for all intents and purposes, was not working even half as well as usual I couldn't do things like write, press a mag release, work the lockback on my knife, and a few other things, and the first thing that crossed my mind was that I might not be able to shoot as well anymore. Luckily, bit by bit, I've been getting dexterity back, which is a huge relief. I'm already really messed up right now, but I've bounced back from this exact thing before, but I had no clue what I was going to do about my hand, which terrified me |

I assume you have been seeing a doctor for your pains.
In the mean time, practice using your other hand and weak hand only weapon manipulations or just practice with your pains. I haven't had nearly the amount of pain you are describing, but I've sprained my weapon hand once and had to live like that for a week and a half until it go better.

Seen the doctor, got my meds, about to file for worker's comp; it's still going to take a while for me to heal, like last time
My hand is getting better every day, but I obviously didn't know it would at first, which is why I freaked out. I've been handling guns a lot recently just to stay in the hang of things |

Just hang in there and keep working on it.

I echo Excalibur's sentiments. I'm not really very good at words of encouragement, but please know I do sincerely wish you well.

Dexterity is back, strength is pretty much back. Now, to work on getting my back/hip back to where it was before

Got an MRI today; 2 discs in my lower back are messed up. Spent all day at the hospital waiting to have surgery real quick to fix it, but the neurosurgeon had me released, so I have to do it another day. At least I got pumped full of medication and was given painkillers
Once the surgery is over with, I'll recover within a few days. Looking forward to it |

Surgery is scheduled for 11:30 this Thursday
I am feeling very relieved. The pain, doctors, and legal issues have worn me out completely |

Thanks. I'm just so, so tired; I want to be able to sleep normally, walk, go places, etc. Woke up this morning because of pain, and I hate it
Weird thing is, my extended family doesn't give a fuck, and they are usually pretty quick to send cards and come visit and such |
