Title: Suprising
Post by Night_Owl on Aug 23^rd, 2002, 1:37am

I was sitting at my computer earlier with my younger sister sitting a few feet away watching tv. She's 10. I mumble something about my head killing me and she responds with "How can you deal with that pain? Don't you just want to cry?" That threw me off guard because I am not used to such an understanding question. I am used to "It doesn't hurt that bad does it?" or "I have some Ibuprophen if you want it." Then I go into how many ml of whatever drug I am on at the time I have already taken. Then they shut up. Anyway, after hearing that from my sister, I wonder how I can take it. Anyone ever wonder if they are a wimp? I mean, I think I can take pain pretty well. A couple broken bones throughout the years and about a million sprains. But this is totally different. This HURTS. It isn't just a shock. Not like an oh crap I think it's broken. I would brake every bone in my body if it would take this away. Bones heal. The pain isn't there as long and doesn't hurts as bad. And yes do I want to cry! But I don't. I suck it up. If only I could trade someone heads! Alright, I am rambling now.

Your kids can be great friends, can't they? Right to the point. Mine are 30 and 27 and occasionally the same thing will happen.

Ramble on....

I tend to think, it's the little things like what your sister said, that help make dealing with the pain, a little more bearable. That understanding compassion can be so rare at times, and is truely cherished when it DOES happen!
