Tonsillitis

Tonsillitis. And I had the worst case of tonsillitis and I'm waiting to yet hear of anyone who had their tonsils taken out while sitting up in a chair. I have inquired with different ones, the tonsils out. I have yet to hear somebody say oh I did. Sat in the chair and they strap your hands for a good reason. They jacked open your mouth and your feet were restrained, but somebody else must have had that experience, because two days after I had my tonsils out I could almost eat toast. You know.

Interviewer: And you were wide awake?

Oh yes, wide awake, but frozen. Same as you have your tooth done.

Interviewer: And that happened in England?

That was in England. I think it was a place called Caplo (sp), I'm not sure. Well that's a long time ago. But what I . . . yeah, it was, yes I'll tell you it was Lady Astor's estate.
