Damn that Karma
Long time lurker first time poster so be gentle.

Just got back to blightly after a lovely holiday and was due to go back to work the next day. I was supposed to be leading on a training session which I'd completely forgotten about and hadn't prepared anything so I thought I'd do the honorable thing... and phone in sick.

Still in the holiday mode I convinced my then bf to also take the day off and we'd head off to London for a fun and frolics day out, not giving a second thought to my poor work colleagues having to deliver the training.

So I crack open a bottle of wine settle down for a nice evening without the damn I have to work the next day feeling. One bottle turns into two and before I know it I'm heading off downstairs in search of a third and end up falling off the last stair and land in a heap on the floor, stay their for a few minutes in agony, quickly shake it off, find the wine and off I trot thinking the pain would go away soon.

Next morning my foot is the size of my head and a lovely black color. Bollocks that's London off the table so spent the whole day in A&E getting lectured off a nurse about drinking in moderation, despite my best efforts to convince her that I wasn't drunk at the time and my foot growing in size by the minute.

Turns out it was badly broken. I ended up being off work for about 8 weeks, didn't heal properly, had to go and get it rebroken and pinned back together and was off work again for a few months. Still not right even now years later... still got me out of training though.
