Well, my recuperation took a bad turn on Friday with, despite muscle relaxers, getting absolutely savage back spasms overnight. The sort where you twitch your foot and spend the next minute screaming or gritting your teeth unable to move. I wasn’t flat on my back the entire time, I did get to crawl to the bathroom between spasms and managed to stand up long enough to pee before crawling downstairs to stay on the couch the whole weekend.
Ladies, I imagine this is what childbirth feels like, and you can have it.
