I discovered that losing a brake on rollout cannot always be fully compensated for with asymmetric reverse.
But I probably need to get training on that; it’s never been covered before.
And, it’s a good idea to test brake pressure after gear down, even if it’s not in the checklist.

No damage & threat to health quickly passed.
 
strangely, I find all my sphincters do the reverse of what I though was normal; they crank fully closed & refuse to relax for a while
 
Whatever you did, you saved it and didn't bend metal - pat yourself on the back.
 
Good thinkin. If your flying something fast enough to have thrust reversers.. then you are landing fast enough that there is little time to trouble shoot the problem as the runway shortens
 
I take zero credit; apparently my bag of luck is just not depleted just yet.
Anyone with experience with the issue, I’m all ears.
 
Tachycardia? Ok in a situation like this. Shortness of breath? Not so much.
