When you've gone through pain that great nothing can really stop you after that I don't think. I think the pain has made me a lot calmer of a person as far as dealing with slivers, stuff like that. Since I've gone through that I tend not to take things so seriously. But in a way, I think it has made me a little less sympathetic to other people when they are going through pain. Sometimes I just want to say, you don't know what pain is. Everybody has their own idea of what pain is I guess. So I probably shouldn't look at it that way.
