A Canadian woman is warning people about the perils of hard partying after nearly losing a leg following one booze-soaked soirée gone bad.

Julia Anderson had reportedly blacked out in an awkward position, cutting off her circulation for hours, and causing her stems to swell to a terrifying size.

The paralyzing ordeal occurred three years ago, but the reveler only just shared her story recently with the hope that others won’t make the same mistake. “I was in pain constantly,” the 36-year-old told Kennedy News. “The nerve damage was so bad I was screaming out in the middle of the night with the pain.”

“I Partied So Hard, I Almost Lost a Leg”

A friend of mine had the same thing happen in college, but he was lucky as his girlfriend found his leg and returned it to him.

“As ZZ Top said, she got leg.”

Exactly...or “shake a leg” (but not too hard)

IIRC this happened to a rock band member some years ago. Just can’t seem to recall the name

It happened to a young athlete in our town. The leg was amputated above the knee. He was passed out with the leg bent under him for several hours.

Chapter 3
MORE ABOUT ALCOHOLISM
Most of us have been unwilling to admit we
were real alcoholics. No person likes to think
he is bodily and mentally different from his fellows.

....We are like men who have lost their legs; they
never grow new ones. Neither does there appear to be
any kind of treatment which will make alcoholics of our kind
like other men.

Sorry. Had to do it.

Reminds of a story where “friends” dropped off a drunk female who ultimately passed out on the front porch in freezing temperatures. She was seriously injured as a result.

Dave Mustaine of MegaDeth slept awkwardly and his arm was severely damaged.
Dave was unceremoniously fired from Metallica for performance issues exasperated by alcohol abuse.

When getting so drunk they pass out in weird positions or in public us unladylike.
