On a scale of ten.....

The Doctors, Nurses, and Techs routinely ask the patients to describe their pain "on a scale of ten, one being pain-free and ten being the worst pain you ever felt." Of course the answer varies according to the four hour cycle of pain-pill effectiveness. That last half hour is really tough and stretches out endlessly.


As a diversion, I asked Nancy how she was feeling generally, on a scale of one to ten, one being 'kinda shitty' and ten being 'unbelievably, unremittingly, massively shitty."

I think we concluded that today was a seven on that scale, based on Monday after the surgery being a ten, Tuesday being a nine, and yesterday being an eight. Onward Progress!

Nancy wants to make known that she is open to tomorrow being a five, or a four.


Or a three.....
