OK I have hurt myself a myriad of ways and had several surguries and tattoos...I handle pain very well but Friday..OMG

I have never understood when people talk about unbearable pain. I have never understood that concept until about 1037a last Friday morning.

It just wasnt a concept I understood...now I do. My best description that I had for a friend was that the pain was so intense and relentless (it was steady and unyielding) that it triggers that inner animal in you that starts to feel terrified and caged by the pain and the total horrific fear that it WONT ever stop - that you will be stuck like this forever.

I found myself in the hall at the ER begging the nurse to fullfill the Dr order for meds (and I never take meds) and I realized at that moment if someone had told me I would have to kill someone to make the pain stop I would have seriously considered it....that is a truly frightening experience.

They gave me this med begins with a D and ever sense of pain I had was gone in 30 seconds...even 15 year old back pain was just gone and I seriously could have kissed that lady just for doing the IV injection of the stuff it was that great a sense of relief
