Ornery and Vinegar
Posted on June 6, 2008
When I was only four or five years old, I was over at my Grandma and grandpas house and while playing outside I stubbed my toe on the sidewalk in front of their house. Of course I was crying and carrying on so my grandma came out and said she would go get something to make it better.
After a while She came back outside with a pan half full of vinegar and held my foot down in it. Now this was in the early fifties, and apparently people back then didnt know what we know now of chemical makeup of different things so apparently my grandma didnt know that she was submersing my bloodied toe in acid. And she must not have known that acid on an open wound would be unbearably painful.
Unbearable pain at an early age, or I guess any age, is an unforgettable experience. Well as I recall my Dad thought the whole thing rather humorous, or so I remembered.
When I was a little older, one day, my dad, while mowing the grass hit a clothes hanger with the mower and a piece of the hanger hit him in the leg. My mom had put wire clothes hangers, stuck in the ground around her flower garden to keep the dogs out of her flowers. And my dad not seeing one hit it with the mower.
Well my mom doctored it and it seemed like it just wouldnt get better. Then one morning my dad woke up and a blue line was going up his leg, Blood poisoning ;off to the doctor for tetanus ,and penicillin shots. My dad was going to be ok but was suppose to stay in bed for a few days. So my dad was in the bedroom my mom was in the kitchen and I said Daddy says he wants you to put some vinegar on his leg
My mom poured some vinegar in a little dish and got some sterile cloth and headed for the bedroom as I headed for the back door. I heard my dad yell HEY WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO DO TO ME KILL ME, I ALMOST HAD A HEART ATTACK!--- as I ran for the barn.
