Stories from Home

I was at Bethany.

I walked to the doctor's office and he said, "I'm taking your appendix out in the morning." 

I think someone drove me to the hospital. 

I can remember snow blowing in around the windows of the old Yarmouth hospital.

Dad and Mom drove all night to see me before surgery. 

It was a 12 hour drive back then with having to drive through all the villages.

I woke up when Dad placed his hand on my head.

After surgery, they headed back to the farm.

I developed pneumonia and Dad and Mom flew me home to recover.

I didn't return to school until the next year.
