Once it swelled, over the course of 15 minutes or so, it kind of created a liquid cast from the inside, if that makes sense, and the fear of its horrid position and my discomfort with the damp and cold became more prominent than the pain. But touching it or moving it? Ha! I would rather have killed the person who tried than allow it! It was only my sincere desire to be warm and dry that prevented me from taking the EMT's head off, lol.

As I read what you had written, I was there with you on that hill, out of reach of the phone and out of earshot of the house. Poor thing. I think my heartbeat quickened quite a bit.
