Yeah it was a touch painful! I knackered my knee playing rugby. It completely bent the wrong way (knee stayed where it was and my foot went forward so my leg was nearly to right angles in the wrong direction!) ...bloody hurt Ironically I stopped playing rugby and took up snowboarding instead, but it definitely wasn't me that rear ended your wife...honestly!
I thought they did most under local now? (Epidural) They were going to do mine local but decided there was too much to do so put me under instead...I was bloody glad
