Lightly Salted

Hello! It's Alyson. Judy and Mom and I were sitting here chatting, and Dr. H came in to check up on Mom and tell her that she's looking great, healing nicely, and can go home today. Woohoo! (this was at 9:15, we were driving away by 10:15. Double woohoo!)

In the process of reviewing how Mom is doing, the doctor asked her to rate her pain on a scale of 1 to 10, using this picture that is posted on the wall above the bed:

I personally don't think that's a very helpful pain scale. My friend at Hyperbole and a Half blog created a much more helpful pain scale. Disclaimer: She does use a bit of salty language, but not every other word. More like lightly salted.
