That is pretty funny @fourof5zs! Although, I have to say, I think I'd put mauled by a bear at 10 if it were me.

Ever wonder what number having a baby is?
I had a male doctor once told me that a man can get an idea of what it’s like: he told me to pinch my bottom like and squeeze it as light as I can, ask me if it hurt then said squeeze harder and told me that a few time and finally after asking if it hurt a lot he instructed me to pull my lip over my head. What is your number of pain?

@JustinMcClanahan .. sometimes I think we need to draw up our own pain chart. Everyone's pain is different. Some people can tolerate more pain than others and use different words to describe their pains.
On most days my pain is like knives not bees. A level 5-6. Pain med will sometimes take it to a 4. If I am active like today it is off the scale. Doing laundry and cleaning bathroom is active. I and my husband take care of my 91 year old mom who has dementia. That is quite active ... some days more than others.
