I wish you a speedy recovery sir! I snapped my ankle the day after thanksgiving and I am still not 100%....basically surgery and/or breaking body parts are far from fun! I know it is expensive, but if you are really going to be down for the count, you may want to see if you could get set up with aflac, that could help with lost income....ymmv.
What part of "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." do you not understand?
