"Something else about the brain/body: It learns to tolerate pain to a certain extent. I am not afraid of it, just would much rather do without it. The only pain I was every able to not withstand was when I broke my arm and was in hospital. Next day, without the pain medication (morphine at the time) the pain was almost overbearing. I bellowed & cried for hours and didn't relent until they finally called the duty doctor late that night to anesthetize me, lol. (I was way over dramatic but the got results. They finally came mostly to shut me up.) Hospital employees can be quite cruel at times."
