No you shouldn't get away from humanity as it has a lot to offer you like words of wisdom you REALLY need to hear, memories, friendships, YOUR HUSBAND, and much more. You'll never fully feel at home in a broken body, but you can still feel proud of what you've managed to do with it and be able to at least make peace with your body. The whole being on the water thing is calming, and I recommend it, but really it's just an escape from your own mind and not a cure all. I hope in the near future you can go a whole summer without being in recovery from something. As far as pain tolerance not only is it wildly different from person to person, but even within the same person wildly different with different pains. I hurt all the time and have a high tolerance, but certain things like migraines, and mouth pain I have a very low threshold for pain. I'm sure if you looked at your postings you'd find some you have a high tolerance for and some a very low tolerance. I'm not sure what causes these differences, but it is absolutely wild.
