I don't call that 'whining'

I don't, either (don't call Cheryl's statement "whining," that is). My
father used to say that toothaches can be more painful than just about
anything else, including his open heart surgery. He grew up in poverty and
had excruciating toothaches as a child, and he had a dry socket when he was
an adult. So, what Cheryl was going through can be almost unbearable pain.
I surely hope the pain has ended now.
