My husband, the perfect mom

8. This Lady is on the right track.

When I was born in 1951, breastfeeding had been declared unfashionable. I was given regular cows milk. I became deathly ill and had two major intestinal resections that disfigured me for life. I was sent home to die. My Mother tried everything (except breastfeeding). Finally somebody came up with the idea that I might be allergic to cows milk.

As it turned out, the operations were botched and I still had occasional blockages which were finally fixed 20 years ago. The Surgeon then also did some nice work at cleaning up the scar. I now no longer look exactly the same from the front as from the back!

Medicine has luckily come a long way since 1951, but as watching the GOP teaches us, never underestimate the power of bullshit!
