Guest guest Posted December 19, 2003 Report Share Posted December 19, 2003 Having my tonsils out at age four years was traumatic! I truly believe it is why I lost most of my hair by age sixty, got wrinkles, and can no longer run a four minute mile. I was taken to the local hospital by my mother, who left me there in the children's ward (boys only, of course) where I tearfully thought she was deserting me. When the nurse left the ward, I went to the locker next to my bed, put on my clothes, and walked out of the front door of the hospital (I was so tiny, no one noticed) heading towards my aunt and uncle's home which was a few blocks away. My aunt made the best chocolate cake in the world. Unfortunately, my break for freedom was short lived.an attendant ran after me, picked me up and carried me back to the ward. My clothes were taken away from me, and I was left totally embarrassed in a flimsy gown. The next things I can recall is counting backwards from ten, and getting a lot of chicken broth and sherbet for the next several days. I still like lime.
