Pain

  My wife doesn't really feel pain like most people. It has been scientifically proven, part of having red hair leads to pain receptors literally working differently. Because of this she really doesn't feel pain in situations that most people would go ow in. Therefore you can understand when I hear her scream in pain I know she is in real pain. I've only known her to do it when something really hurts or she has done herself a real injury.

  Yesterday was one of those days where I suddenly heard that out loud scream that didn't stop. It seems my wife had hurt her back somehow during the night and couldn't move properly or sit down. There was something causing nerves to scream bloody murder in her lower back.

  When this happens my heart sinks and I stop whatever I'm doing there and then to rush to her to see if there is anything I can do. When I find there is nothing I can do other than let her get better, since pain relievers don't do much for my wife (that redhead thing again), I feel so helpless. Here is the woman I love in severe pain and I can't relieve it.

  At least my wife knows when I go ow it isn't serious. Seriously, I go ow when she pokes me. Not sure what I would do if I got seriously injured since it really hasn't happened yet other than migraines I suppose and those go away.
