7. August 9th 1974....My gall bladder is removed |
|
Edited on Wed Aug-09-06 03:53 PM by Tikki
I wake up post surgery to see a new President talking on the television. I ask the nurse if I'd missed something or had been in a coma for a while. She laughs and then fills me in on the happenings.
BTW...HAPPY BIRTHDAY...
