I've had one before. I was shown and asked the same question. My response was that this was my new 10. I couldn't even tell you what my previous 10 was, but it sure wasn't this. Morphine worked for me. Apparently, according to my wife, I'm a wimp as on the morphine I was a drooling idiot who was barely able to converse or stay awake. She and the nurse giggled at me, or so I was told.

Doesn’t sound like any fun. However, your pain chart did make me laugh.

I’m so sorry you had to go through this but glad you are better. When my appendix burst, my surgeon was, “Major Burns” .. seriously! All I could think of was the inept surgeon Major Frank Burns from the show M.A.S.H. I’m sure my doctor got his share of jokes until he became Lt Col Burns.., 😂.. nice guy.. great surgeon..

Somewhere there is a nurse named Ms. Diagnosis and now we’ve got ourselves a comedy team…
