THIS MAKES ME SO MAD!!

13. Permit me to reel out my list.

I was born behind the Iron Curtain in 1950. Even though my father was one of the nomenklatura in Budapest's municipal government, I had them all. A "mild case" of polio, that left me with a gimpy walk. Mumps and measles did a number on my hearing, and gave me the tinnitus that still plagues me. Whooping cough which damned near killed me, and frequently had me staggering out of bed, struggling to breathe. Chicken pox scarred me for life. By the time we emigrated in the winter of 1956, I had gotten immunity to everything but a meteor strike, but it was the hard, painful and terrifying way.
So you can be sure, my children got all of their vaccinations, and I've kept up to date on anything that comes around!
