00:10 Yesterday I was in pain.

00:16 I called the physiotherapist, but I told him I was a bit alone and that I didn't really need it.

00:28 I finished the game with a lot of adrenaline.

00:32 I came to the gym in the evening, we did ice cream right away.

00:36 I thought it was going to be fine.

00:38 This morning I got up, I took a lot of anti-inflammatories.
