Glad your injuries were no worse.  Don't spend time grieving over things - things can always be replaced, but we'd have a hard time finding another Bjorn (at least one like you).  :)

While another sword is always useful, I think your real value to Fian Ruadh is as leader - and you can always get some big mouth like me to yell for you.

Hope you heal up quickly.
