Don't self treat. Couldn't agree more - especially when your tackle box is full o narcotics.

.223 looks like the good call - especially since I live in CA where the regs are being piled on very fast. I'd just leave the thing at the range. It's something that i was never interested in doing before, but as of late it feels like range shooting might be therapeutic. Will have to wait until fall.

Thanks for everybody's support. Will update from hospital. Think an overnight stay is in order. 3 kids and a kitchen remodel starting - recovery nightmare!!!
