Single Awareness Day (SAD)
Today I strained my left pectoralis major muscle, and experienced so much pain I felt like vomiting. I was lugging a 6kg vacuum cleaner box across London on my right shoulder, and reached for my travelcard (in right jean pocket) with my left hand and literally felt like my lung had been torn away from my chest! I had the most intense pain on the left side of my chest (behind the breast) that I felt nauseous, dizzy, couldn't breathe properly and suddenly felt so tired that I could have fallen over and gone to sleep. I felt so sick I literally stood in front of the Metro newspaper box and contemplated sitting in it to recover! After about 20 minutes I managed to continue my trip but my god that was something I don't want to repeat anytime soon.
Happily, I made it to my friend's sister's house and had a really lovely dinner and catch up. It's definitely still painful but no more than other muscle strains. PHEW! My lungs are attached correctly!
