of course you arent a wimp.It wont just be the pain that is keeping you awake it will be the worry as well.The hardest time for us was not knowing once we knew and got over the crying and yelling,we had something to focus on.You have had an invasive procedure and it will hurt it is to be expected.so grab some painkillers and let them do their work and dont even think about being a wimp.
