Oh my, what a long, boring, lonely hospital stay you must have had! Was there a TV in your room? When I was a little girl, we usually had the neighbor girl over for supper and birthday cake. My older sister and I shared her for a friend, since she was between us in age, and we lived out of town with few neighbors. Sometimes we went to her house for her birthday, too. I remember attending only one or two other birthday parties.
No TV :) Just games...
it is so long ago that I just remember bits and pieces - and I was only 6 years old :)
