What?!? The 3-Cycle :(

When I opened my eyes it was all good except for edges S and 3. They were flipped. So when I did the 3-cycle, S evidently was not oriented correctly.

I see it now that I have studied it but here is the thing. I don't think there are any setup moves that would make it work. Options?

1. Figure it out correctly and add a flip. Lots of extra thinking. :(
2. Instead of the 3-cycle use F Perm swaps. 1DSK

Wow, that was a messup. Not totally scrambled, but... 4 edges and 4 corners were out of place. A couple double swaps. I need to try again on this scramble.

Tried. This time I lost focus or something. Anyway part way through I just lost track of where I was and quit. Must be break time. Let's go do some yard work.

Tried it one more time before retiring for the night. Got it. In spite of the fact that there were a couple times during the solve when I thought I'd blown it. But I kept my eyes closed and pressed on.

Should I practice more on using the setup move LiULU2LiUiL, and restoring it, or should I turn the cube and do it right-handed?
