Pain Level 0-10

 So explain to me how do you really measure pain? Is it really that simple that you give a number and the doctors n nurses adjust and react? How do they know that a 10 for you is a 5 for me? How do they know a 10 for you is really a 1 for someone else? How do you know you are telling them the right number? Do you tell them an 8 when its really a 15? Can you go over 10?

Pain can hide a lot of things but it can also tell you a lot about yourself and your body. Pain drowns out the noise. Pain is something that everyone has felt at least once in there life. Then you have others who have to deal with pain on a daily basis. You have some who cant handle pain at all and thats ok, you dont have to. Others deal with pain and you never knew they were/are in pain. You also have those ones who use the pain as a way to get attention. Those people......well anywho

There is all kinds of pain, there is pleasure in pain. Tattoo pain. Piercing pain. Achy pain. Sharp pain. Dull pain. Crampy pain. Unexplainable pain. Heart pain. Soul pain. Self-inflicted pain. PAIN PAIN PAIN PAIN Arrrrgggggghhhhhh

Pain is something that I have dealt with all my life. I have tattoos and piercings and want more of each. I have a rare diesease that causes pain and dealt with cancer. I have dealt with so much pain that at one time I ask God if He would just go ahead and take me I couldnt deal anymore. Well as you can see He didnt take me as I am still here😉. And still dealing with pain.

My brother would hit me when I was younger and when I asked why he did that, he told me that it was to make me stronger. I told my mother and my mother said just hit him back. Now imagine a little blond hair blue eyed girl and a taller huskier brother. There was no way I was going to be able to hit him and make it hurt, no way.   I was confused and baffled at the time when he answered me. Now I will say thank you!! I was going to say my brother taught me to take the pain but I think it was my mother because she never took up for me. That story is for another day......

So pain has been a part of my life for so long that when I dont have pain I am not sure how to act. There for quite a few years I didnt have pain except for the occasional getting older pains of life. You know the knees, the feet and the body pains of getting older.

In the words of a close friend

"Its gonna be painful to write"

This one took me a minute because of the memory from childhood. I will definitely get more in to that one on a later story...... For now take some Tylenol and call me in the morning if the pain persists.......
