Good news...no break in the left hand, just severe bruising. It's firmly wrapped, really sore, and I've decided to cancel jobs until Friday, where I'll use an arranger for week-end work. Can't play guitar, bass or left-handed bass on a B-3, but will be able to cover the week-end (carefully) by just holding chords with my left hand. Right one is fine.

Sadly, I lost it, and hurt the kid more than I should have. I keep a weighted metal defense baton in the drawer, and broke his wrist and really bruised him up, including dislocating his shoulder. Haven't been that mad for a long time, and should not have reacted that way.

I'll be fine. Just a little sore and ashamed at how I handled things. Scary thing is, right beside the baton is a 5 shot Tarus 45/410 shotgun pistol (the Judge)loaded with buckshot. Not sure I want to keep this thing here after this. Came really close to using it.

If I had, I'd never gotten over that.

Thanks for the concern.
