How were the blood tests yesterday.....?........did they have a green tinge to them...........
The young lady they have their that takes blood definitely passes the "Tootsie test"!
When I was a little bitty stinker, I absolutely hated getting shots! I vividly remember having to get a penicillin shot, five or 6 years old and it took all the nurses at the hospital to corral me in the ER........ Remember we're talking about a small town. I was screaming and hollering.... Help me help me! Police! Police!
I think the biggest thing that freaked me out there was no one I was familiar with. They were all strangers to me. My mom was also and OB nurse, so she knew all the nurses in town. So Mom called Tootsie. Tootsie was my regular doctors nurse in training. She had no formal training only what Dr Mull Had given her. Tootsie gave great shots! Tootsie was a great nurse! She was also an excellent pediatrician nurse. She did have a way with kids.
So Tootsie comes in, she even got dressed in her nurse's uniform. She calmed my little cantankerous butt down and got me to take the penicillin shot. It did shock the other nurses how easily she got me to cooperate.
Tootsie could have been a double for Stefanie Powers. She worked with Dr Mull until he retired. Mom helped deliver her last baby . Mom also helped deliver Dr Mull's two kids.
There are some things growing up in a small town that you can appreciate. And there are some things about growing up in a small town that could just annoy the hell out of you. There was a time when I was a little one, we could not go
anywhere without someone recognizing my mom and saying something on the order of, "Oh! There's the lady that delivered Joey!"
I mean all sorts of places! On the lake! Sitting in the car at Keller's drive in Hamburger Stand in Dallas. And the most craziest of all over 400 miles away in Odessa Texas!
Well, my mom did OB work for quite a long while.
I remember my aunt and cousins watching Gone With the Wind with my mom.
This got a simultaneous chuckle from everyone!
