These stories make me feel like I have not suffered any pain in life. My worst experience with pain was when my appendix ruptured. It ruptured three days before I went to the hospital and I had gang green in my stomach. After the surgery I developed a pocket of puss in my belly. The doctor came in and opened up the cut in my stomach and inserted one of those cotton tipped sticks into the hole and "popped" the pocket. It was at this time I started to get my thoughts back as they fled and all I could think about was knocking the doctor out. 2 weeks later I was out of ICU and another week I was sent home.
As far as the marriage pain, I didn't learn the first time so I have experienced that pain twice!
