I think it's a matter of tollerance as well, we have been in alot of pain for a period of time.. your SIL does not have the tollerance you do for pain because of a lack of experience with it mabie.. look at it like child birth Kate the first time you are shure you are dying lol, but by the second or third your body tollerates that kind of pain better, but more so we know the pain gets better and in our subconcious we know how bad it's been. And thats the 10 till you feel more than that and adjust your 10 again. Her 10 is probibly your 7. or at least a heak of alot lower than yours would be.

I see the little one is growing like a weed she is beautiful
Nice to see you posting you are missed.

Hugs and holiday wishes,
