Not good for a writer, but I'm hoping it will wear off. Seems like no sooner does one complaint ease than another rears its ugly head!Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04991009842667783101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-659197563728114440.post-34247389523409269712007-10-15T11:28:00.000-04:002007-10-15T11:28:00.000-04:00Hi Marijke,Once when I was sick and in the hospita...Hi Marijke,<BR/><BR/>Once when I was sick and in the hospital, everyone kept asking me how I felt and I kept saying "it's not so bad" and my son kept saying "she has a high tolerance for pain."<BR/><BR/>So I'm thinking the scale would be a great improvement. because it gives us a baseline of "no pain."<BR/><BR/>I also liked the afternoon nap link. I think I just feel all around better on those days I know a nap is on my horizon.<BR/><BR/><BR/>TerrieTerrie Farley Moranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04980849018232866773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-659197563728114440.post-3532367290302584562007-10-15T10:26:00.000-04:002007-10-15T10:26:00.000-04:00I think the pain scale makes a lot of sense!It doe...I think the pain scale makes a lot of sense!<BR/><BR/>It does seem like it's taking some in the medical profession a long time to take subjective pain seriously--which is too bad, because it seems like fear of over-treating pain has caused lots of needless suffering.Crabby McSlackerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12108791388350253344noreply@blogger.com
