Opinion by Justice DONALD W. LEMONS.

By order dated May 1, 2012, we granted the appellees' petition for rehearing, in which they argued that we should reinstate the jury's $2 million award of damages for Robert Eugene Hardick's ("Hardick") pre-death pain and suffering, an award we vacated in accordance with our March 2, 2012 opinion in this matter. For the reasons that follow, we now reinstate that award. Our prior opinion in this case is modified accordingly.
