Power of Cold

I don't like the cold. I know, I know. This isn't a revolutionary discovery for anyone. If you know me, you know this. That said, today I was reminded of the power of cold...of ice, really. I had a killer headache. I mean head throbbing, near vomit inducing, dizzy spell, eyeball aching kind of headache. I admit it, my first instinct was that by this point maybe painkillers would be a good idea. Second instinct, that followed shortly after the first, was my first aid training. When in doubt, use ice. Seriously, within half an hour, the headache was nearly gone and I was back to work, chatting with people at the pool, and plugging away. I decided that ice really is the new miracle cure.

So now we know. If it hurts, use ice.

I wonder if ice cream works the same way. I could get a lot of mileage out of that one...
