....But preferably NOT by having a freak accident involving chasing a pet rabbit round the garden and ending up taking a layer of skin off your knuckles so that the new pain from the wounds cancels out the old and irritating bit of pain elsewhere.
Now I will have to distract myself from the new pain.
At least the old pain currently seems so insignificant - why was I moaning about it before?
(By the way, the rabbit remains unharmed and is sunbathing, unaware that the hand that feeds it is bandaged).
