was hanging out with friends getting some drinks, we decided to walk through our old campus.
there was a roof I always used to climb up while in college to chill on, so I did that.
after finished, while hopped up on liquid courage, I decided to jump down.
did so and shattered my heel.
spent the entire summer immobile and required a surgery that ended up costing me about $5k out of pocket.
have mostly recovered now, but it’s still not as good as the other foot, and I know it’s going to hurt like hell when i’m old.
don’t be like me, don’t do stupid shit while drunk.
Did something somewhat similar. Got drunk after final exams. We decided we were special agents and were rolling over car hoods/bonnets (like they do in chases). There was a van (think A-Team), and since it doesn’t have much of a hood, I rolled off the roof instead.
Pretty sure I cracked or broke a rib (there was literally a loud pop). Couldn’t sit up, cough, sneeze, or breathe deeply for about 2 weeks without intense pain. I never went to doctor though because I thought, “well, it’s a rib, what are they gonna do? Put a cast around my whole body?”
Now I have discomfort every day, and pain between 2-3/10 after any sports. Tough when your youth idiocy catches up with you! Felt so invincible back then.
I was about to joke about the fact that you have to pay for health, but then I saw that you’ve never recovered. I’m very sorry, buddy.
