Illnesses, operations and accidents

I had appendicitis when I was 11 years old. My appendix had burst. Dr. Sidney Anderson was the Doctor that operated on me. I was really sick for a while. I had the measles when I was about 5 years old. I went to visit my neighbor, Ralph Smith and he had the measles and I went to bed with him. In a few days I came down with the measles. I caught heck for that. A horse fell on me when I was about 15 years old. I was crippled for almost a year and had leakage of the heart from that fall. While I was in the Army in about 1943 I was in France. I was hit with some shrapnel in my back. It was about 5 months later that I was riding in a Jeep and the German's zeroed in on us and I was shot thru the leg with shrapnel. In my later years I had surgery for a hernia. Then January 1982 I had prostate surgery. Doctor H Dale Thomas was the surgeon for these 2 operations.
