Arthroscopy - Arthur Askepy - Busy Bee - Sore Knee

I had an operation, an arthroscopy, on my knee today to remove some damaged cartilage - fortunately I read this article in today's Guardian after the operation

As I was about to go under I mentioned to the nurse that any images of the event would be very useful for my forthcoming fine art degree - these images were handed to me on a CD on leaving the hospital ....



Speech bubble competition now open - answers on a postcard ...






All rather beautiful and may have to send to the Cloud Appreciation Society - http://cloudappreciationsociety.org/


To finish off here's a video of the event ... stop at 4 min 30 sec if you are of a squeamish disposition ...
