Meh, repurcussions scheepercussions, if I hadn't hit him exactly where I hit him, I would have had my head cut off entirely. If the Texas Ranger hadn't been there to watch it all happen (and gotten me out of the car before I burned up), I would have been a crispy critter, and all of my fur babies would have been orphans.
So, on the whole, having a wrist that doesn't work so well and being left more or less destitute from recuperating for months (and months and months) is not the worst thing that could have happened. (I think about all of the people all over the world whose lives are seriously circling the crapper, and I'm still ahead of the game.)
