2009, the origin of my “Prodigy” scars. Leaving Other after Prodigy, tripped over someone’s bag on to a load of smashed glass. Knee is in shreds, welly filling. Got driven up to the med tent and stitched up by a Falkands vet with a big ‘Tash. Being Sunday evening, they only had a pretty heavy gauge stitching left but very grateful.
2023, I spent all night in the queue in agony, doubled over. I was being stubborn as I had to get in first and I did. When I finally got my tent up I collapsed in pain and got dragged up to the med tent.
Got promptly taken to RHU Bath, Turns out it was a kidney stone. Back in the party by 8pm, fed and morphined up.
Thanks a million guys.
