Glad to hear that you finally got the surgery... best wishes for a good and quick recovery. Let me know if I can do anything to help (within the bounds of propriety and good taste, of course)
Anyone ever been presented with this and thought about it too?? What did you do? Do you know any hints at all?
Heloise? Heloise?
... I guess there really isn't anything but to lay there and work the fatal funnel.
Since I have been able to get up on my own two feet I have started practicing with my weak side and to this day my strong side is not really in the fight. I've always practiced for the probabilities and this scenario was never a strong probability so needless to say it wasn't practiced very much, until the past few months.
I'm about 3 weeks out from shoulder surgery myself. I also have thought about this. Not just at home but out and about as well. Having my dominant arm in a sling really limits any defense I could muster. I really agree with 3rdrcn about needing to practice weak side.
After my ACL I took my lortab and didn't worry about self defense or anything else but when 4 hours would pass.
Caring about your pain or being jealous of your MK25...
Hmmmmmmmmmm...
OK! Get better soon.
It's funny what surgery does to a person's thinking. After my shoulder surgery, my biggest fear for 5 months was being arrested, having my arms forcibly placed behind my back, and being tossed into a patrol car.
Just had ACL surgery today and laying here got me thinking about home defense. Aside from having a bright flashlight and an 18 round MK25 here next to me, I realize there is no home defense.
Right now it is impossible for me to barely sit up quickly right now, let alone stand to address an issue. I couldn't imagine permanent disability.
So, that being said, I have no tips or hints at all for this type of situation.
Just crutches, gun, and flashlight laying right next to the bed.

It was a bitch and the endless pain seemed unbearable. Even though things are still different now since my injury I'm glad I went through rehab and recovery that I did. Hang in there.
