Wouldn’t It Be Good Not to Feel Pain

Most people would think that it is a good thing never to feel pain. You could impress your friends with tricks they could never handle. However, that also means you could do significant damage to your body without knowing it. What if you broke your foot, and it healed incorrectly because you never knew it was broken? Pain is your body’s way of saying something isn’t right. Sadly, Ashlyn didn’t have that indicator.

Yes, she cried, but it was never from pain. One time, she developed a horrible diaper rash that caused her mother pain, but she never even sniffled. The doctors dismissed that she wasn’t crying and gave her a treatment plan to clear up the rash.
