Stacy's pain:

Definitely when I dislocated my shoulder. I knew immediately what had happened, but it was dislocated so badly that they thought my collarbone was broken, so they didn't/couldn't reset it immediately. They tied my arm to my chest, put my on a stretcher, ambulanced me to the nearest hospital over a series of amazingly bumpy roads. To make matters worse, my elbow cramped up from being locked in one contracted position for so long. When I got to the hospital they gave me morphine, then more morphine, then more morphine, and then I realized that my elbow was hurting more than my shoulder. Someone, I think it was Tim, untied and straightened my arm, and I passed out immediately.
