- punctured front tire but otherwise my bike was fine (his wheel was very buckled)
- something with left should was very bad. pain started to kick in pretty quickly and quite badly... pain went like this:
- something weird is clicking in the left should that doesn't in the right
- i'll fix my puncture and just go home - thats a shorter bike journey
- left arm movement is really quite painful - best i hold it as if it's in a sling
- can't pick up stuff with lefthand
- there's no way i can fix this puncture with one arm
- left arm really hurts now (after about 10minutes) - starting to feel very sorry for myself
- biting my right arm/wrist in order to avoid crying. failing. crying a bit.
- lots of short breaths and controlling pain and needing to just get home and just get to the doctors and just go that next little bit of where i'm going. back to what i did today...
