I had no idea. The others I can totally see. Having just spent 2 weeks in a hospital, and having seen every episode of grey's anatomy, I could Never be a surgeon.AllBeehivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13824838944319386646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23037795.post-82489711054763988282008-04-25T08:20:00.000-07:002008-04-25T08:20:00.000-07:00Thanks, Dad!

I believe that you had two hernia episodes that were supposedly related to the Big Wheel. I always had my doubts that there was any direct relation.<BR/><BR/>When they put you in a bed in the Naples, Italy, Navy hospital they put you in one that had a plastic canopy so that you could not hop out. Smart people there. <BR/><BR/>When Mom and I came to see you after the surgery you were already up and playing with the other kids in the ward. Ya can't keep that gal down. <BR/><BR/>3. You were so healthy as a child. The first time you threw up you were old enough to know that it was not a good thing. Maybe 2 years old. Amazing. You were unbreakable.<BR/><BR/>6. I believe in Santa. Oh, I AM Santa. :-)<BR/><BR/>7. Yes, you lived in Italy and spoke Italian like a native. You once had to ask Mom how to say "pane" in English. <BR/><BR/>25. You have some comments on your blog now.ks1khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09368745609103087794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23037795.post-20515243238429016662008-04-25T04:24:00.000-07:002008-04-25T04:24:00.000-07:00Joy,Yep.

I hope you still have some birth certificates.<BR/><BR/>I think that you had two hernia episodes that were somehow related to BIG Wheel riding. I always had my doubts. After the first one when Mom and I went to the hospital room to see you after the surgery you were up and playing with the other kids. Amazing recovery.<BR/><BR/>They had to put you in a bed with a cover on it before the surgery. They knew you would climb out of it. Smart hospital folks in the Navy hospital in Naples, Italy.<BR/><BR/>You were amazing as a young'n. You were never sick. The first time you vomited you were old enough to know that it was something that was not correct. You were a couple of years old then, I think.<BR/><BR/>I still believe in Santa. Oops, I am Santa :-)<BR/><BR/>Love,<BR/><BR/>OLD DADks1khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09368745609103087794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23037795.post-8764914881014652952008-04-24T15:06:00.000-07:002008-04-24T15:06:00.000-07:00NICE!

If I were in CA we would totally be friends...we could do yoga together and play outside. It's hard to make new friends as you get older...everyone is so busy with life and sometimes it can be difficult to make time for someone you don't know very well.Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10310177625740529329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23037795.post-41136270346870921592008-04-24T08:21:00.000-07:002008-04-24T08:21:00.000-07:00Sounds like someone I really do know.
