17. She was a great Mom...she was a nurse and like most nurses almost killed all of us at one point

or another...my future son in law who's Mom is a nurse and I compared notes... we all had scarlet fever (untreated strep), He did too, He had a broken arm 24 hours before being taken to the doctor...so did two of my brothers...and it goes on and on. Nurse moms treat you themselves. As an adult with three kids, I broke my ankle in BJ's I think...I slipped. We were going to Connecticut from Georgia for Christmas. The x-rays were inconclusive because of swelling.

When I arrived at my Mom's with my broken ankle. she announce the doctors were a bunch of idiots and that the ankle was broken. She had stuff in the House told me to look out the window at something and pushed my ankle in place...she set it. It hurt like hell then she put a cast on it. She said you don't want to spend Christmas Eve in the ER...'there all better.'..hauled out some crutches and that was that. I went to the orthopedist after I got home. He asked me who set the ankle. I said my Mom the old nurse, and he laughed and said well she did a great job...so the last thing my Mom 'treated' me for was a broken ankle! She was a pistol...drove 90 miles an hour mostly, loved us but didn't like other kids (my friends were scared of her and refused to sleep at my house), and backed us up every time we needed it. Damn, I miss her every day.
