Are you asking for a friend?

Just curious as it sounds like one of the most stupidest things I've heard alcoholwise for quite a while! 😆

And with a story like that... Spill!!

Just remembered another fell about 20 foot climbing. Landed on my feet a bit shock through my leg but after a few minutes felt ok so carried on climbing. Next morning leg was really stiff so went for an xray told nothing was broken, managed to get a sick note as I worked a building site at the time. Spent the next 3 weeks climbing most days till note ran out, rang work to say I would be back in next week. They said any chance you could milk it a bit and get another sickie as things have gone really quiet.
So off I go to the doctors pretending to limp and ready pretend to be in pain. Doc examined me and twisted my lower leg, I nearly go through the roof in shock and pain.
He says you broke the little bone that supports your calf muscle, they weren’t looking for that when they read your X-ray. You need to take it easy for a few weeks, don’t put much weight on it.

When I hurt my fingers in a fall, the GP told me to exercise them. It wasn't until I went back 9 weeks later complaining of all the pain the exercised caused that they x-rayed them and found they were both broken.

Anyway, what did being injected with Vodka do, except for possibly a rather large hangover the next morning?

Found some left over Salted Caramel Vodka in the drinks cupboard from Christmas brought by daughter dearest mixed with Pepsi max and we have a winner. Not got round to mainlining it yet though.

I'm not sure I had a choice, but I helped my Dad tip a lorry load of straw bales into a barn just after I'd got back from having a tetanus and something else inoculation.
Could barley move my my arm the next day...the advice not to do any heavy lifting after the jab is good advice!

Exercising after giving blood.
I assumed that after 16 hours it would be ok. It wasn’t.
I gave blood at 5pm on Friday and ran 5k parkrun at 9am. It’s amazing how your physical performance drops. I felt weak, dizzy with a headache as I stumbled to the finish.
