It all started on Hallow’een (31st October) 2007…
Just a normal day to start with, got up late, had a spliff and relaxed on the sofa. It’d been a long hard summer at work, couldn’t wait to finish the next week, then holidays until Christmas.
In the evening walked down to the restaurant where I worked, for dinner: a nice fat bloody T- bone steak with chips and a pint. Steak was gorgeous !! Afterwards a cuppa tea and a Drambuie to keep out the cold.
Came home and watched the TV with a pint of Irish cider. Being hallow’een all sorts of stuff about vampires and blood and things were on. Thought wouldn’t it be nice to meet a gorgeous redhead vampiress in the mood for some blood !
Bit later started to feel a slight pain in the back of my leg. Didn’t think much of it, being a waiter my legs are always aching.
The next day the pain in my leg started getting worse and worse, til the end of the night it was really quite painful. I must have pulled a muscle, I thought, and took an Ibuprofen. Little did I know I had developed a life threatening condition and should have gone to hospital !
The day after was the last day of work til Christmas, 40+ Norwegians had booked for their bowling (petanca) club. My leg was incredibly painful, it felt like it was going to explode when I put my weight on it. I had another Ibuprofen and a very hot shower, and put a firm bandage round it. That seemed to do the trick. Went to work and came back no problem.
