Gosh aren't we glad for medical developments? But horrible to think of those having their lungs collapsed to cure their TB, must have been distressing to read about it for you as well. You write the loveliest comments on my blog, they are always much appreciated - thank you :) Glad you are getting to know Myanmar a little better!<br />Have a happy day<br />Wren xLittle Wandering Wrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12461692611319918593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24429902.post-40825507412002006812016-02-23T15:50:50.585-05:002016-02-23T15:50:50.585-05:00You are such a tease.

Some of the ways patients were treated in the past and some of the suggested cures are mind boggling, but some of the natural remedies you read about now sound better than some of the 'medicinal' treatments with so many side effects. I often wonder if they will look back some day at chemotherapy and radiation and think it was insane. Is progress really progress.Connie Eyberg Originalshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12310132698513467232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24429902.post-65008815438298074102016-02-23T06:36:10.949-05:002016-02-23T06:36:10.949-05:00Oh my.

I have no real information about my parents. If I did, I would probably enjoy researching my roots. <br />xx, CarolCarol- Beads and Birdshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11062821517519300477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24429902.post-16495618656174292142016-02-22T22:31:06.878-05:002016-02-22T22:31:06.878-05:00These family photos are such treasures!

Until after two years she ran away and went back to her mother! Taking her two babies. She also wrote Onions in the Stew about life with a different husband on an island near Seattle.Vashon island I believe. Colorful life. It was during that time that she came down with TB I think.<br /><br />I had schoolfriends who went away with TB and had similar miserable experiences, out on open sided pavilions in all weathers. I wonder they didn't die of pneumonia!Boudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00641013916263271948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24429902.post-15777545611159699892016-02-22T19:13:51.670-05:002016-02-22T19:13:51.670-05:00Isn't that a lovely poem and sentiment!Isn't that a lovely poem and sentiment!Quinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17292701509476856967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24429902.post-31969359060545631722016-02-22T19:10:31.005-05:002016-02-22T19:10:31.005-05:00My goodness....
