and would probably need to for the extreme pain of crush injuries.
I don't know how they're doing it, but you never know what you're capable of until you're out of attractive alternatives.

To make it worse... imagine that you have a limb that is trapped, and they aren't going to be able to get you out without amputating it. And that's if you're lucky enough to have a doctor get to you.

6. Meditation/prayer, because it focuses the mind and relaxes the nerves. |

13. I'd take a deep breath and stretch my arms and legs. You know, shake out the frustrations. |

Maybe take the dog out for a jog and get some fresh air.
