Good for you. Glad you were able to make the trip with your son to look at colleges, even through the grit of pain. You know, you may look back one day and only remember what a rough day it was for you, however, when your son looks back one day........and he will, the only thing that will really stand out in his memory is the fact that you were there. He won't have a clue how much pain you were in, so God bless you for bucking up and making that lasting memory with your son. And big bonus that you actually felt pretty good the next day. I do believe precisely what you said about the bodies natural pain killers kicking in. Absolutely. I'll be curious to see if you do the Hawaii trip! Hang in there.
My best,
Cindylou
