I'm sorry you had to go through that. I don't know why we have to experience so much pain in life. I was accidentally shot by my friend with a 20 gauge shotgun bird shot, but he was about 50 yards away. It mostly burned real bad.

The stabbing itself did not. I did not even know I was stabbed until I was pushed on the floor, knife in my face, and being told "you've already been stabbed".

The recovery, on the other hand was a different story.

The nurse told me that I woke up the second floor of the hospital when I screamed in agony as they pulled out my first chest tube. Other one came out like butter.

Any movement for the next month, at least, while recovering resulted in excruciating pain.
