Wednesday, 18 July 1962, The Frances Hubbard Diaries
Cloudy and rainy. I washed. The worst day this week but the clothes dried. Hard shower at about 4pm. Clifton and I went to Dr. Palen at night. Marilyn and kids were here and three girls from Roxbury were here for supper.
Comment: Doc Palen was the go-to doctor in Margaretville for most of the family after Uncle Merel had been his patient and lauded him. Not sure why they are visiting him but probably Mom's headaches. When I was 16, he took my appendix out and left at least a 7-inch scar like a piece of rope and it took about a year for me to recover. For a long time even into adulthood, the scar would cramp up whenever I tried to raise my right leg. I also could not straighten up for months after the operation. Me, when I was cute, what happened?
