Rupturing my calf muscle made me think of the women in our case studies that survived being attacked but were injured and also about women who didn't survive as a direct result of an injury. If that had happened to me during an altercation I'm afraid i would have have been done for. The pain was just too intense. The only hope I would have would be if adrenaline kept the pain at bay while I tried to defend myself, otherwise it would be over. It sure is a helpless feeling.
