2 hours ago, there were 2 things that had never happened to me before in my life;
1 - break/dislocation of any bones
2 - being given laughing gas
All fine now, but **** me laughing gas is amazing. Apparently my girlfriend has never heard me bellow so loudly, and when I was prompted by the nurse on if I was feeling pain I managed to respond mid-laugh that "I've never known pain like it, but I don't care!". Was bloody shown up outside the X-ray theatre though; I get my injury having a kickabout with some mates and I'm sat there weeping like a sissy, when this 11 year old girl who plays for Reading is brought in with a shoulder fracture after helping her team see off Chelsea girls-under 11 team 4-2. Well and truly upstaged!
Every cloud does indeed have a silver lining, though; as there'll be no self-abuse for a few months, I've been promised handy-jays on request. 8)
