1 (a) [0:01] Ah, granny’s one. And now what do you want to ask me again

2 (EU) You had promised me a few words – to tell me charms or something.

3 (a) [0:09] A charm?

4 (EU) Yes.

5 (a) [0:10] Ahh!

6 (EU) Can you do that?

7 (a) [0:11] I can do charms, yes. Women come [to me] granny’s one, they come, but –

8 (a) [0:14] but I’m known throughout the whole village to have died!

9 (EU) No way!

10 (a) [0:18] Well, [if] for a whole year you’re not around anywhere –

11 (EU) Huh.

12 (a) [0:21] I was bedridden for an entire year.

13 (EU) Uh huh, uh huh.

14 (a) [0:24] And my children supposedly said that I had a stroke

15 (a) [0:26] But it wasn’t a stroke.

16 (a) [0:28] That doctor there did me in, he screwed up on me.

17 (EU) Hm.

18 (a) [0:31] My arm got hung up like this on – on the edge of [this thing] and it went numb.

19 (a) [0:36] and [the doctor] came and took my arm [and said] “Raise it, raise it,

20 (b) [cough]

21 (a) [0:38] raise it, raise it!” I wet my pants from the pain

22 (a) [0:40] and he [said], “Mitko, you’ll go to buy her injections.”

23 (a) [0:45] – “And what sort of injections are you [all] going to buy me?

24 (a) [0:47] I’m not – I – I can’t take medicine by mouth.

25 (a) [0:50] Tell me what[‘s going on]!” – “That’s no business of yours!”

26 (a) [0:52] – "Pepi, I beg you! I am allergic!

27 (a) [0:56] I cannot [do as] you [wish] and take these medicines

28 (a) [0:58] that I see you want to buy!”

29 (a) [1:00] “Ah,” he says, “why are you acting so spoiled? Come on!”, he says,

30 (a) [1:04] “Why so spoiled?” And he shot eight injections into me

31 (a) [1:08] and I became paralyzed. Not – it wasn’t – they said I was curled up

32 (a) [1:12] with my knees next to my mouth and that I couldn’t move.

33 (a) [1:15] And that [went on] for three months. [I was] mute!

34 (b) [1:18] I came to see you, to look for you.

35 (a) [1:19] Right! You should have tossed some soda into my mouth

36 (a) [1:23] The way it was in my mouth, [I needed that].

37 (a) [1:25] I could not even talk.

38 (a) [1:26] And I think my tongue got all black. But they –

39 (b) [1:29] [cough]

40 (a) [1:29] They apparently couldn’t see what [was with] me because they thought I was –

41 (EU) Ohh!

42 (a) [1:32] But the Lord will keep you going, you see, [for as many] days as you still have

43 (a) [1:37] [even if] you haven’t eaten, or drunk, or pissed, or gone outside [for the other].

44 (EU) You’ll live on, won’t you?

45 (a) [1:41] – live on, and be a [real] human being.

46 (EU) Uh huh.

47 (a) [1:44] And when I came back to life, on Epiphany –

48 (a) [1:48] when I came back to life, I was apparently myself, more or less,

49 (a) [1:51] but I couldn’t talk because of these rashes,

50 (a) [1:53] So now I have rashes all the way up to here. The sun came out a bit,

51 (a) [1:58] I take a bit of broken mirror, because it was there by the window,

52 (a) [2:02] I take this mirror [pointed] towards the sun like this, and I yawned a bit.

53 (a) [2:06] And when I saw [it] – My tongue! My throat! And next to my throat only blisters.

54 (a) [2:12] I couldn’t swallow, I couldn’t talk. And [this guy] comes in.

55 (a) [2:17] I give him this thing so he can look, but I don’t tell him

56 (a) [2:21] what’s the matter with me, I can’t speak. So now I yawned

57 (a) [2:24] and when he saw he says, “Oh my! What is that?”

58 (a) [2:30] I stayed quiet. [If I could have] I would have told him what it was.

59 (a) [2:33] but now I struggle to tell him that so–

60 (a) [2:36] that they should make me some sorrel soup, but they can’t understand me

61 (a) [2:41] And I gesture, gesture, gesture, gesture,

62 (a) [2:43] but I can’t say anything,

63 (a) [2:44] my mouth is already [like that of a] poisoned person, and that’s all.

64 (a) [2:49] They sensed fina– fin– Finally they seemed to get it.

65 (a) [2:53] “She’s asking for,” they said, “sorrel soup”, and they made me [some].

66 (a) [2:57] And when I ate only this soup –

67 (a) [2:59] I ate up all this sour soup, I drank up two small bowls of it –

68 (a) [3:04] that was all I [needed]. And then – “Come on,

69 (a) [3:07] have a little of this; come on, have a little of that. Have a little!”

70 (a) [3:10] But you know, when you haven’t eaten, everything you eat –

71 (a) [3:12] And constipation started up! A whole month, horrible constipation.

72 (b) [3:17] Because you hadn’t eaten.
