I Understand Pain ~ Pain is Relative
Posted on November 04th, 2009 in chronic pain

Pain is something that is relative. I have nonstop pain, but that is my pain. People often during the course of a conversation will be talking about their pain and say “well it is nothing like you deal with” but I disagree, where I do not know, I do know my pain, I know that it is relative. Someone else’s pain is just as as mine. It is all in relation to the worst pain each individual has felt. For example, before my surgery I was in constant pain, I knew the surgery could not guarantee my pain to be resolved, I remember thinking, well if I do not do the surgery I am pretty much guaranteed to hurt like this forever so I decided to go ahead with it. Well the surgery Did take care of the pain I had but caused a pain exponentially worse, and way more intense. So where as before tat was the worse pain I know, and now I know a worse pain. But being that it is relative, the pain I felt before was the worse so I could not imagine any more. I now know different, I also know that the pain I felt when I opened my eyes after being filleted open for hours and muscles detached, torqued with a torque wrench, two rods bolted down either side of my spine , the middle part of 5 ribs removed and left broken and then having to lay flat on my back on a fresh incision for 6 hours before I could be sat up, was Absolutely By Far the worst pain I have ever known. When my pain spikes now some days it is so intense that I wonder how my body does just not pass out, yet I am able to push on, or sometimes just crawl on, but move forward nevertheless.
My point is that pain is an individual thing, it is personal, it depends on so many things…

This is a very interesting article by a good friend of mine relating to living with pain. We met on Twitter a couple weeks before we both were to attend IZEAfest in Orlando. I helped get her hooked up with a few friends and we both had a blast while in Orlando. It was supercharged and included a lot of physical activities. I could hardly keep up with Meredith. She was so upbeat every day even when she was working through severe pain.

My pain is minor compared to her pain. Mine came about as a result of a career in law enforcement. In fact, I can tell a story for just about every pain I have  – which will be about an encounter with a suspect.

Visit Meredith’s blog by using the above link. I think it will be well worth your time.

1. Is your dog itching, scratching and stinking beyond belief?
2. Do you wash your dog one day, just to have the stink return the next?
3. Wait weeks between bathing your dog because his skin gets so dry and flaky?
4. Hate bathing your dog because you rinse and rinse and rinse…and still can’t get him completely rinsed?
5. Need help?

My Yorkie is definitely a stinky puppy, even after she is washed. I am going to check out this shampoo. Besides, a Yorkie has sensitive and dry skin. I’ve bought shampoos from the vet that have not worked. Now it’s time to try something new.

I wish I had this shampoo when my 100 pound lab met one of the local skunks. Boy was he stinky. If only I had been home to photograph Ken pouring tomato juice all over the dog. It would have been a hoot to watch, especially since he and the other 100 pound lab decided tomato juice is pretty tasty. It was rather messy. This shampoo would hav been quicker, easier to use and not as messy as the juice!

Martha’s Wholesale offers a myriad of items. You can find everything from cologne to handcrafted knives. There are plenty of gifts to go around. Other popular items include soap from Spain and Greece plus large bath sizebars of Pear’s soap and Taylor of London soaps. Maja soap comes from Spain and there are others.

I enjoy the smell of fragrance as long as the wearer doesn’t announce their arrival before they get there with their cologne.  A good rule of thumb is if you can’t smell it after a few minutes then you are wearing the correct amount. If you can smell it then your are wearing too much.

I enjoy soft fragrances like Shalimar or Ombre Rose because they don’t knock you down with strong scent. Some can be foound at the cologne and perfume store Their light powdery smell is wonderful on almost any day. Jade East has a brand new fragrance for women. This is a first for them. It’s a nice light floral scent.
