Dang it!<br /><br />Things I know about pain:<br />1. It hurts less if you keep your eyes open, generally<br />2. The real pain and horror comes from anticipating other consequences ("I'll never be able to sit comfortably again..." etc.). The pain in the moment is all one should try to deal with.<br />3. The way I get through pain is to tell myself "Someday you won't even be able to imagine how this hurt."SUEB0Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16301963922769609715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7486020167848564517.post-2423009443799668522011-05-18T06:08:44.708-06:002011-05-18T06:08:44.708-06:00I think I have posted before, that I rate all pain...I think I have posted before, that I rate all pain against childbirth. By far the worst pain I ever had. Definitely a ten on the pain scale. what I try to remember about that experience is I made it through. Oh yes, and I had a cute little slimy person to hold afterward.<br />I didn't have any pain when I had my colon blockage. I was asked that over and over too.Albugnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7486020167848564517.post-57640230329705203172011-05-17T20:51:15.579-06:002011-05-17T20:51:15.579-06:00The emotional components of pain are fascinating a...The emotional components of pain are fascinating and science is learning more and more about this.

Both woke me during the night in pain that reduced me to tears. Yes, I was an adult each time. <br />I've always hated those rate-your-pain scales. When I am in pain, I cannot tell you what kind of pain it is -- I hurt too badly to think! And yes, worry has a great deal to do with perception of pain.Karen (formerly kcinnova)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16705613736966783261noreply@blogger.com
