Back in the old days…I tried to talk w/Diane Beverly about my horrid disease…(she was 2 yrs older), but it just didn’t register, I needed more information.
When I was just 9 yrs old I thought I had an incurable disease and was dying. I recall telling Mom and then Shirley came to the “rescue”. (Myrtle was attending nursing school at Bethesda, so Shirley was on duty.) I was absolutley mortified when she showed me a diaper strung up by a rubberband! I was supposed to be cured by this contraption?! Needless to say I finally got the picture and survived.
