Pain.

When I first became conscious in the hospital, my first memory was incredible pain that I felt when they were cleaning my wounds. I was in this tub, and they were spraying me with water to clean out the dirt, that had accumulated in my wounds after jumping out the window. Pain was incredible, was mostly indescribable. I can only remember screaming because of the pain and losing consciousness because of it. In the she is It's very hard to describe the pain that comes with third degree burns and the continuing pain that is experienced when treating the burns. Pain medication can only do so much, and I have a very high tolerance to drugs, which made it even more difficult for the doctors to treat me. If I hadn't been able to convince my doctor to increase the pain medication because of this tolerance, I'm not sure what would've happened.
