So, fast forward to now and here I am hobbling around with a growing collection of knee supports and trying to keep it exercised as much as possible, because Elder Daughter tells me that 'knees love exercise.' I'm sure she's right, but my knee doesn't seem too grateful for it these days!
"I have a couple of bolts in the shed that you could use," said Keith helpfully, watching me strap said joint up in a knee brace.
"It's OK," I replied, "you keep those for your neck."
