Re: D.I.Y job

Sorry, but this still makes me laugh. When I was about 17 I had a knee problem so the hospital inserted a valve, added a bike pump and blew it up with air so they could take xrays. For the next week or so, my knee was making very rude noises as I walked.

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.

I once had 'Housemaid's knee'. My doctor thought it was hilarious.
