I am 'lucky', Immediately after I was born I was put down on a hot water bottle full of boiling water and spent the first few months of my life in hospital. It means I have a sky high pain threshold and cope with trauma very well. The downside is when I do things like break my femur in a motorcycle accident, the ambulance man helps me off with my leathers, "They cut them when they don't need to" and then a&e keeps me waiting for a couple of hours for an x-ray, because they think it's only a bad bruise. Burns stay painful for ages, and that one was from shoulder to knee, the midwife had been knocked off her bike by a V2 rocket on the way to work and no one spotted she had shell shock. As a kid it made me really leary and daredevil, I rember being taken to hospital to be stiched up and the A&E receptionist saying "Not again Oliver", when they know you by name as you walk in ...
The only problem I have now with the eye is putting things through holes, like a screw in a drilled hole, have to do it by feel.
