Wednesday, 18 July, 1962, The Frances Hubbard Diaries

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?
