    Hmm. I wonder what a dropped off hamstring would look like? I’m picturing ham+string as in a lengthy piece of bacon dragging along the pavement enticing the local pups to follow on in hope of a nibble. 
    Hmm. Now I’ve reread that it’s perhaps not fit for publication but hey 🤷‍♀️ just putting it out there. 
    Hmm. Now I’ve reread the earlier post I realise we’re talking about the leg dropping off, not the hamstring. Sheeesh! I need to keep up. (Not easy if your leg does drop off!)
