I thought I would post this as now it seems comical.   Last night I woke up around 3am with my usual tossing and turning with some pain and swelling (5 wks out).  I  went into my well rehearsed drill of getting up and putting an ice bag on the knee and moving to my recliner in my small living area.

    I use a large bag of peas for my ice bag and one night i couldn't get back to sleep and decided to get the ice pack.

    Soon after i fell asleep.

    In the early hours i woke feeling cold and wet only to find i must have rolled onto the bag of peas and it had split. The bed - and i, was covered in green peas. They were on the floor too which made escaping hazardous!

    The sight was amazing . My husband couldn't stop laughing!

    Can you imagine how many peas in a 1.5kg bag!
