Well you certainly had me enthralled, and exciting birthday party turning to a stay in the hospital. Was it sponge and custard pudding? Thermometers used to be so brutal, you did make me wince a little. And after all that having your appendix cut out - what an experience.
Were you put off Birthday parties for life?
No, not really. I don't think that I associated the hospital as a consequence of attending birthday parties :) And I think that was a time in the medical history of man where removing appendixes was almost a hobby of the surgeons LOL
And no sponge with the pudding. Just a bland white slime 🤪
Today, they would never let you stay in bed that long. It is up and out as quickly as possible ...
