Print it out and point to it if you have to.

My worst pain was being unmedicated for 10 hours after an open appendectomy, then they dragged me out of bed. I went into shock and they had to lift me off the floor and put me back. Now I might have a seven to nine in some joints and a one or two in others. I can still give him an average.
