My pain level?
I'm not sure how to answer that... you may mean after I'm back from surgery. If you mean my general tolerance for pain, I can handle it pretty well. I think that Kickaha and I discussed the oddity of pain and sensation for redheads in a thread many moons ago. Basically, the way I understand it, redheads tend to be more aware, more "sensitive" to pain, due to having a physically higher count of nerves, but are also able to "handle/deal-with" pain better as we can dull it down.... somehow.
This explanation is probably ENTIRELY INCORRECT, but it's the only way I can remember it right now... it would be great to have a reference paper to consult.... or a dissertation from Kick.
Or something.
Anyway, I feel fine today, day-before-surgery.
Have a slight worry-sore on the side of my tongue, from stress... haven't had one of those in years~
