Wonderful wonderful codeine
Just had my tonsils out, and instead of normal painkillers, nurses sent me home with a bumper pack of codeine tabs....now, i've heard these are illegal in some countries, and so they should be.

I, stupidly, thought that the pain i was experiencing could be inversely proportional to the amount of tabs i was cosuming- basically,i thought the more tablets i took, the less pain i would have.
And to a degree, i wasn't wrong; i had no pain thresh hold!

"Yay!" i thought "Go out, get hammered, have fun, no pain!"...how wrong i was.

Did the drink, did the fun, started wandering home from the bar with a mate, and decide to sit on a wall for a rest-just then, i get a weird head rush, and go arse over tit off the wall, straight into a pile of glass. Glass all in my arm and hand, and im more concerned about where my phone was. I then tried to pick the glass out with my fingers, so my other hand gets cut to ribbons. Cue trip to A+E, and before i even get into the hospital, i puke and headbutt the sliding doors into the place (still no pain). Explained, very matter of factly, what had happened to the triage nurse, and then slept.

Next morning, wake up in my mates room, where he explains what happened the night before, but finds it really feckin funny tht after all that, i started crying when the nurse tried to inject me with aneasthetic before pulling out the glass.
N.B. and the headache the morning after really hurt...cue more codeine!
