2000-09-23 - 14:03:24 What exactly do they mean by the phrase - a very low threshold for pain? The image it brings to my mind is of a person who crosses quickly from no pain, to "the hell with my liver give me some pain killers NOW!". I mean is it like Susie has 500 steps before she enters into the pAInZOne and Peter has only 143 steps? I have a terrible sinus headache at the moment. It's been brewing all afternoon and now it's ready. I don't know what I'd do if I didn't have medicine. I don't handle pain well at all, but I wanna say it's because most of the time I am free from physical aches and/or pains. I'm not looking for practice - I just don't understand how people can *allow* themselves to hurt for any length of time. If I got a headache like this at work and I didn't have any medicine I would *have* to leave work to go and get something. Maybe I'm more in touch with my body than the average person - and so when it starts screaming at me I can't tune it out very well. I'm not one to suffer in silence. I had hotdogs from Pete's for dinner. They were tasty. I'm having a quiet evening (other than the sinus thing) and had another productive day at work today. Tomorow I must work on a game for kids church that I have put off till the last moment. It calls for two posterboards, lamination, index cards and artwork. I swear when the medicine starts to work it feels like liquid washing over the pain and covering it, followed by a relaxing of the tension around my temples. Well, I think I'm off to read a few of my favorite posters. I hope to add some links to my page soon. You know stuff like a link to my favorite online newspaper and that sort of thing. It's the little everday things like a clean soft pillow and a good cup of coffee that make life enjoyable. Enjoy your weekend! - radar -
