One final word...thank you Charon and ff. She was indeed a glorious sister. One of the last in the USA to have polio...just before the vaccinations began. She had the worst case I have ever seen...she looked like an Aushwitz victim. Some of the treatments she received were not far removed from medieval torture. (look up Polio/Halo) Drilling holes in her skull to hold a halo that held a bar that held the spine straight.
Even me at 11 years old knew this procedure was wrong...it was the beginning of my distrust of doctors.
Yes a glorious sister...kind, generous, wise beyond her years for all her suffering....when she died (on a Sunday morning while reading the newspaper) they called it suicide....cause she kept her empty Darvon bottles....suicide my ass. It was the Darvon that caused her heart to finally give out.
Her smile lit up the world and still blooms in my heart. Dear Christine was an inspirational to all who knew her...pretty too...was a finalist candidate for the Easter Seal Poster Child. My family loved her dearly...we all took care of her.....Gosh I miss her
I've said too much, my hear is heavy...gotta go.
