If you can wade through the account of my boo-boos, there's a lesson at the end.
Yesterday, I carried a hay bale for my wife, then I went back to close the hatch on our van. As I went to put away my gloves, I tripped on a branch that was lying on the ground (a whole 'nother story).
In complete free fall, I put out my right hand against an outbuilding to catch myself. This wrenched my shoulder without stopping me. Then my head hit the building, and finally I landed on my left knee.
The knee hurt the most, at first. I had trouble getting up, because of the pain in both knee and shoulder. Much later, I noticed a little problem with my right hip, and a small laceration at the cuticle of my left thumb.
This morning, everything felt better (perhaps I should write a post on essential oils), but my right shoulder still hurts except in a limited range of motion, and if I try to lift anything heavier than a few ounces.
So, I had to ask myself WWMBD? What Would My Barber Do?
The obvious answer: Do a lot of left-handed dry fire practice.
Excuse me as I go get my airsoft Gov't Model replica and do some weak-hand practice.
