I remember being at Hudson’s with Mom and Peg (we lived on Sherwood court at that time before Charlie was born,I was only 4 or 5 at the time)

They had those glass shelves there and one little boy the same age as me had a balloon and let go of it and I tried and jumped up to grab it in the air and on my way up scraped against the corner of the glass and cut the crease on the side of my nose(which I still have a little scar from)so Mom with the bleeding was taking me to the hospital because I needed stitches as I got out of the car,scared,blood all over me my sister Peg shuts the car door right on my hand.lol

The doctor said I needed stitches and Mom asked while I was there if he would look at my hand that I got slammed in the car door on the way in.

Funny being so young and I remember it so well,was on the table and they gave me a gas mask I remember thinking it looked like a strainer and wondered what they were doing with a strainer over my face.lol

I remember only seeing the needle going to and from my side of my face.

We went home and the wizard of Oz was on that evening and remember sitting in my little rocker with an ice pack on my head and my doll in my arms rocking and watching the wizard of oz.

I remember it vividly,maybe it was because it was the scariest thing that happened to me up until then.
