this pain will go away.

i like it when people are direct and don't mince words. hwubby's trauma attending physician walks into the room, says, i'm dr simon, broken ribs and kidney stones are the worst pains in the world. just like that hwubby and i are grounded into the reality as it is. he can't laugh because it is painful. a little burp triggers a spasm that is 10 on a pain scale of one to ten. i am not the one who has to go through this. yet, i have to say, this keeps coming to my mind. this will go away. this will go away. really. easy for me to say.
