I can't feel anything. It must be low down, because above the boot my leg still seems to be in one piece. I can't feel a thing, but maybe the shock is protecting me. Surely the pain must hit me soon. I drag myself to the back of the bike and open the top box.
Stuff falls out, including the first aid bag.
All I've got for pain is Tylenol. Seems pretty inadequate, but I take two capsules anyway. Then I put the bag under my head, and lay down in the soft mud to wait. I am very aware of being in the middle of a vast plain populated only by a tribe with a bad reputation, but that doesn't worry me. I have faith in people.
