The doctor had said the anesthesia would start wearing off around 6, and sure enough, by the time K was heating up the stew (which was very good and perfect for this weather!), sensation was returning to my back, which felt tingly and tight. Now it's painful if I move my arms around, bow my head or bend over, and the muscles in my upper body are also sore, perhaps in sympathy. I'm going to take the pain killer right before going to bed -- hopefully it'll see me through the night! I'm not quite sure yet how I'll sleep, because I usually sleep on my back or curled up on my side, neither of which will do the stitches any favours...

ETA: People, you need to remind me to take the (non-pain-killing-whatever-they-are) pills! 3 times a day, after meals. I have the feeling I'll be forgetting them a lot. X_X

Not so bad, just... not all that pleasant. It's the not being able to move my arms around as much as I'd like bit that's annoying, actually. ^_^;;;
