zestfiveI was walking down the steps and I must have stepped too close to the edge of the step, I slid down and fell back on my butt. Thankfully I didn't hit my head but I know I'm going to have a bruise on my butt and I wrenched my arm. Both are sore this morning but I'm pretty sure they're not as sore as they could be, I can mostly ignore it.
Interesting about how some people can be so in tune with their aches and pains, I rarely notice. I wonder if it's because when I was a little kid, my mom's response to our physical complaints were often: "wait a couple of days, if it still hurts then let me know". Pains often went away...
Other folks I know, it seems, the minute they feel a pain, they've got to deal with it some how. When I had my breast reduction, I took a little bit of morphine in the recovery room and that was it. I filled my pain pills but never took any of them because I wasn't in pain. Don't get me wrong, I don't like pain but mostly I don't feel it. I have cramps on the first day of my period and sometimes I take tylenol on that day if I don't forget but after that I'm fine. I don't think I've ever felt myself ovulate but I know people who can feel that.
Am I less sensitive or just oblivious?
