I had similar surgery almost 6 years ago, and RamJet actually right after you have the surgery you regain full feeling no numbness. Yes, I was surprised too. Blackadder will have two weeks till he has the stitches removed. At that time they try and make it quick and as least painful to pull those rascals out. He will be dosing himself with numerous pain pills to numb those finicky sensations that linger. If he responds his words may be misspelled or in the wrong locations, Hey can you share those wonderful mind numbing drugs, Oh he only has enough for himself though?

Blackadder I know your pain but, I have been there. It hurt, it was operated on and for 2 weeks its sore, every move you make is remorseful, trust me it gets better!
