Knew there was a reason for it.

Redheads feel pain more and are harder to anethesi... ant... are resistant to pain killers Old news to some of you, I'm sure.

But it explains a lot of instances.

...

At the Girly Doctors

"You'll feel a slight tug and no pain..."

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUCH

...

After nose surgery

"So has this helped the pain, or is it still hurting?"

"Still hurting LOTS!"

"I'll try a bit more pethedine... how's that?"

"Still really sore! Could I have a bit more?"

(gives third shot)

"Dammit. No, I can feel my breathing slowing. I'll stop here. Ow."

...

Mammogram for possible lump due to constant mastitis whilst breastfeeding.

"Now this will cause a squeezing and slight discomfort. Hold still."

"OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!"

(Slight comfort - seeing the stream of milk that shot out and hit the wall opposite, 8 feet away :-)

So, I'm not just a wuss. Or maybe I am. But when I say things hurt, GORRAM IT I MEAN IT!

in other news, no news

Actually, I'm really not surprised. My own pain tolerance is pretty high, but so is my mother's and my sister's. I suspect such things are genetic :)
