Man, I came close to that scenario about 20 years ago trimming a huge silver maple at my first house. Dang 12" limb kicked back and in an instant smashed my hand between the butt of the branch, the upper chainsaw handle and the scaffolding I was using (Thinking I was safer on it than a ladder ). I came close to some real damage, got lucky that the chainsaw handle broke in half before my hand did. I'm sorry to hear about your fall, torn muscles like yours are miserably painful when they happen.
I hope you recover quickly and are 100% soon!
Stay safe.
I went through something similar in 2008 or so, you will heal and get stronger but it will take time and there is no way to rush it, patience is the name of the game.
PT will suck and hurt like hell, but keep it up, it pays dividends.
I too went from a double stack 9mm to a revolver during this period. I could do a one handed Rack, even get mags loaded etc.
However, it was much simpler dropping six rounds into a cylinder and closing it again. I had a lot of fun shooting left handed only for the better part of a year.
After all the surgeries and the cast finally came off, my right arm/dominant hand came out looking like a tiny emaciated t-rex arm!
Lots of fun building it back at the gym, still clearly remember the DAY I was able to lift the same size barbell I was slinging prior to being hurt.
Good to have a revolver around just in case, in my experience.
My old model 586 no dash and Taurus model 85 saw me through. Foolishly sold both of those at some point. Ah well.
