I think I'd have had to get a T-shirt printed that said, 'It's my knee, not my ...!
I broke my left kneecap when I was 40. I'd like to say it happened when I was climbing the Eiger or something equally daring but no, it it happened when I tripped over my tool case.
The knee swelled up a lot and I had to have a tube inserted into the back of the joint and have a load of fluid syringed out. When that was done, the whole leg was put into plaster for six weeks. Happy days.
