END of Cold, we try HOT

     An Angel called her mom in Mexico and her mom told me that the cold treatment(standing in the ice cold creek) was not the way to go.  this could cause life ending blood clots, thanks, Angels mom!  Suggesting, instead, hot compresses, advil and aspirin.  I conceded because Angel is relentless and he ma is a nurse.
     The legs feels a lot better and I managed to avoid stroking out while shoveling out from the last blizzard by taking it easy and  using the shovel as a pushing tool as opposed to a lifting and throwing tool at the behest of Philly Mayor Nutter in his address to the city regarding the recent weather emergency.
     It was the definition of fun when later I went to the supermarket and felt dizzy for 30 minutes.  I find shopping surreal to begin with, this was like a bad movie montage where the hero is in the market and tripping.  Not fake tripping like in breaking bad, or psycho tripping like the Stone Movie where Woody Harrelson is Mickey Knox.  I think the markets are designed to trigger some sort of hallucinatory buying frenzy, from the "feel-good" music to the "locked-in savings."  But I really shouldn't be eating five cookies with all the txic shit they make cookies out of these days.  The fact that I get 20 times as much poison fo a dollar more doesn't make it a deal.  I am with the Haitian Farmers in their burning of the GMO crap they got for free from the Aid Organization disguised as poison distributor!  So there is hope for the world, just not up here, where the signal is strongest.  Gotta get out of here, I gotta get outta here, I gotta get outta here...

Swelling itching brain...  LIVE VERSION!  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMF5vzvLyMQ

Gotta painful yellow headache
Every picture in every magazine's
Come real
Every face looks out
And screams at me too real

Cold sweat on my collar
Dripping to my boots
The waves of nauseous pain
Sets off the pressure pad alarms
Gotta get outta here
Gotta get outta here
Gotta get outta here
Gona get outta here

Gotta painful swelling brain
Banging in my head
Gotta painful swelling brain
And I called off sick
Gotta swelling itching pain
Got me pulling out my hair
Gotta swelling itching pain
Clutching at my brain

Gotta painful swelling brain
In the back of my head
Gotta painful swelling brain
And I called off sick

Gotta swelling itching pain
Got me pulling out my hair
Gotta swelling itching pain
Clutching at my brain

Gotta painful swelling brain
Got me laying in the floor
Gotta painful swelling brain
Think I left my senses
Gotta swelling itching pain
Seems like endless torture
Gotta swelling itching pain
Banging in my head

Gotta painful swelling brain
In the back of my head
Gotta painful swelling brain
And I called off sick

Gotta painful swelling brain
Got me pulling out my hair
Gotta painful swelling brain
Clutching at my brain
Gotta painful swelling brain
Painful swelling brain
Driving me up the wall
Gotta painful swelling brain
Painful swelling brain
Gripping at my eyes
Ears, nose and mouth
Gotta painful swelling brain
Painful swelling brain
It's bloating my thoughts
Gotta painful swelling brain
Painful swelling brain
Leaves me holding the front door now

Gotta swelling itching pain
Swelling itching pain
Clutching at my brain
Gotta painful swelling brain
Painful swelling brain
Got me lying on the floor
Gotta painful swelling brain
Painful swelling brain
Painful swelling brain
Going out of my skull
Gotta painful swelling brain
Painful swelling brain
Painful swelling brain
Burning up my thoughts
Gotta painful swelling brain
Painful swelling brain

Painful swelling brain
Gripping at my eyes
Ears, nose and mouth
Gotta painful swelling brain
Painful swelling brain
Painful swelling brain
Tearing me apart

Here's the scary part,  this bump wont go away.
 It is about the size of half an extra large egg. 
I guess i hit it on the slide down 3/4 of the steps.  It really hurt but I was able to limp around on it. Later in the day it was impossible to walk so I slept it off.

When I wake up in the morning it hurts a little farther down and towards the back of my calf, as if the blood rushing to the area is finding a really messed up situation and it is my body telling me to stay off it.

I don't, there's wood to split, fires to start, cats to feed.

I am a bit stubborn.  I'm not going to get an X-ray peacefully.  I carry a knife.  You need a knife in the country for all sorts of things.

I would rather provide this documentation about this ugly injury and tell you what a Genius Neanderthal with no Healthcare is willing to do to fix his leg.....  hint- no doctors!  doctors are expensive con men!
I am not going to run up a tab with a doctor.
I certainly will not listen to him say I have a slight fracture and I should stay off it for a while.

I have responsibilities around the farm  This slows me down but I can carry 50 lbs 200 yards.  That's better than alot of people.  And it looks alot better than the day after it happened.....

If it is my destiny to be crippled by a treatable condition, so be it.
 I will go on a speaking tour about how you should ALWAYS SEE A DOCTOR, and how you should trust them, even if your history with them is a history of them abusing you.  There is a reason no one likes doctors.  They are mostly just guessing, like an auto mechanic does.  At this point in time I trust my Best guess over any Doctors.

The swelling is way, way down since i started standing in the freezing creek water a few times a day.  I keep it in up to my knee until the foot starts to tingle.  I walk with a numb foot and a numb leg and it's a funny walk as funny as any that Monty Python every did.
