I hate anesthesia. Really I do. It took months after a minor surgery a few years ago to be able to even run normally again.

But I am in agony today, something twinged last night on the side with the nerve pain when I was changing into pjs. I can't figure out what hurts or why it still hurts but I am so happy that my pilates class was cancelled. I haven't taken pain pills since 10 days after the accident and right now I want one.

I just wonder, what happens if I twinge that nerve 30 years from now, and the consequences are much worse? It's going to be a lot more difficult to remove this stuff then.
