You've got me beat. My earliest memory was the doctor or nurse putting the ether mask over my face when I having my tonsils out at age 3. I remember the feeling of not being able to breathe and how scary that felt, then, of curse blotto. I was also a traumatic memory, but mine happened a couple of years after yours. Wow. So glad you shared your story and I'm so happy you'll get your picture!
