Youngsters today don't know how grateful ...Pat,<br />Youngsters today don't know how grateful they should be that it is now so quick, painless to be prepaired for surgery.<br /><br />Greyquill,<br />It is something I have tried to recreate through the years when in pain, but I never did. <br /><br /><br />OOLOH<br />I so agree and if ether were the only anesthesia today, don't think there would be a lot of elective surgery.

I was 10 so we were about the same age. Peo...Nitwit<br />I was 10 so we were about the same age. People died of it often in the old days. It killed my grandmother.<br />We did have penicillin but none of the new drugs. I was always glad mine was gone for then I never had to worry too much about a belly ache.<br /><br />robin,<br />I think we all pretty much remember painful times and out of body is hard to forget.<br /><br />Cheffie mom<br />They always take your cute stuff don't they?<br /><br />Linda,<br />So sorry but it was just too long for one post.<br /><br />Betsy,<br /><br />Bet you got all the ice cream you could eat.

In those days ambulances and hearses were one and same, operated by funeral homes. I got to choose which one brought me home; I chose a BLUE one. Spoiled rotten wasn't I?<br /><br />My appendix did not rupture.<br /><br />My favorite cousin (pre-school) died from ruptured appendix. Her family lived in rural Tx where medical care was not convenient. Her Mother became an alcoholic after her death as she blamed herself for neglect in not recognizing the severity of the illness.<br /><br />And not too many so-called antibiotics were available. About the most reliable antibiotic was from Above.NitWit1https://www.blogger.com/profile/07035004840443397537noreply@blogger.com
