Re: ,'ornery' & -my new pain scale.

cindylouwho,

I think it's better too. Lots easier than trying to match a number to pain...hey

give me a picture anytime.

Hope Dylan's pain level gets better. It's miserable by the time it hits bitchy.

Gabby is bad enough when trying to do things.

I swear I'm going to run off a copy of the Wong-Baker pain scale showing the

facial expressions...I think it would work to put my pain responses under the

matching facial expressions.

Ya know, this pain scale makes much more since. This is exactly the way Dylan

responds. Today he is between gabby and bitchy, so I'd guess he's a 7 1/2.

Yesterday he was mute/bitchy hmmm.. 8 1/2? Cindylouwho

Is that the faces we see in the hospital with smiles to tears in a cartoon

like form? Those pictures might be fine for acute pain. Seems like the gabby,

bitchy, mute are much better for chronic pain sufferers. Now to make the Drs

understand. Cindylouwho
