He says there is a difference in "sick" and "uncomfortable". If you are sick, go see the nurse. If you are uncomfortable, suck it up and go hike. <BR/>I appreciate this philosophy very much. Perhaps you can borrow it. I will admit that once I went to the ER with tooth pain that I thought woudl kill me. When asked about the level of pain, I told the nurse I wished I was in hard labor instead of this. I'm not sure how much she snickered when she left the room, but I did get a pretty good dose of something. Tooth pain, in my opinion, as well as migraines, deserve all and any drugs available. Unless, of course, your tooth pain is due to some activity involving the phrase, "Hold my beer and watch this!".pursegirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00781246723822676141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407016858777887859.post-91331922312855708932007-07-15T11:53:00.000-06:002007-07-15T11:53:00.000-06:00The camp director here has a very philosophical wa...The camp director here has a very philosophical way of dealing with the "I don't want to go on program b/c hiking is hard" campers.

You have my respect for doing a job I know I couldn't do.<BR/><BR/>I have a blogging friend who's a cancer survivor and suffers from fibromyalgia. She also has a morphine pump to help with her pain. Unfortunately sometimes she gets lumped in with the drug seekers when she needs help. It sucks there's addicts out there who are making it tough on people who need help.<BR/><BR/>Sheesh, woman, you're a saint.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07900746787671291548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407016858777887859.post-12094004410710646112007-07-14T10:08:00.000-06:002007-07-14T10:08:00.000-06:00RC, never mind your curly hair, flat feet and BS-o...RC, never mind your curly hair, flat feet and BS-ometer,(I could never do your job, you're all amazing), come over to my place for your award, and I've also tagged you today, though if you've not got time I understand.Jo Beaufoixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00957369658590225971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407016858777887859.post-89659269257010317172007-07-14T07:59:00.000-06:002007-07-14T07:59:00.000-06:00A nurse asked a friend of mine who she was admitt...A nurse asked a friend of mine who she was admitting for appendicitis whether she had children. She then added a point to the figure my friend gave. Women who've been through childbirth have a different scale and never give themselves 10, she said. (She also mentioned that men give themselves 10 a whole lot more often than women.)Iota https://www.blogger.com/profile/08507184283437057648noreply@blogger.com
