Your memory is pretty bad too buddy because I did say all that except for it's time for the dime
Guys I'm only 23, no wife for me!
The gunshot wound was self inflicted, I got a new holster, and I was taking it out of the holster while it was on my waist to adjust the holster and I was an idiot and didn't check the chamber and boom!
I had to have surgery on my leg. I had compartment syndrome (A painful and dangerous condition caused by pressure buildup from internal bleeding or swelling of tissues.) and I had to have a Fasciotomy( Fasciotomy or fasciectomy is a surgical procedure where the fascia is cut to relieve tension or pressure commonly to treat the resulting loss of circulation to an area of tissue or muscle. Fasciotomy is a limb-saving procedure when used to treat acute compartment syndrome.) done.
Pretty much I almost lost my leg and I'm thankful for the surgeon that saved my leg. I have pictures of the wounds, but I don't know if I'm allowed to post them because they're pretty bad.

Just glad Your all right ... a painfull lesson yes .. but a lesson learned ... i was shot in the leg by a friend over 25 years ago ... at night out raccoon hunting with dogs ... just had shot raccoon out to dogs and i was leading my dog and carrying the raccoon ... walked past him and his dog and his dog jumped out trying to grab the dead raccoon from me ... his leash pulled across the top of his rifle and snap fired the hammer on the lever action rifle ... boom my leg was on fire ... luckly i had on thick chaps plus carhart jeans and long underwear as it was about 10° out .. the 22 bullet riped a 3" gash across chaps , jeans and long underwear and just left surface burn/gash on outer thigh muscle ... lol i dropped drawers in the middle of woods to investigate .. wrapped bandage and went back to hunting ... lesson learned my friend traded in his lever action the next week and neither one of us has owned one since ...25 years later ... we both had young kids and thank God it was too cold for them that night ..

Hey glad you're ok Periodic. That was the first thing to pop in my mind (self inflicted) but I didn't want to ask.
No judgement. When I was 17, at the beginning of my backyard mechanic career, I was working underneath my 1980 ford F150 jacked up in the driveway. Can't remember if it was sweat in my eyes or dirt, but I rolled out to clear them and a tenth of a second later the jack slipped sideways and the truck ended up sunk a few inches into my DIRT driveway. I knew better too! My head wouldn't have held up a couple tons, I suspect
The fact that you admitted it, awesome!
Get better!

Oh I did forget falling off the roof because I threw a hissy fit. The wife didn't take off on me, she was getting me a coffee. Still not healed
Well back in the day of my misspent youth I was a bikers biker(outlaw) yes I have the blacked out tattoo to prove it, but let's get back to my tale, I ended up being shot in the back, woke up in the hospital alone, which is why the tattoo is blacked out. Scar and tattoo go together now.

Now I feel left out, never been shot.
