Hi Malcolm yes they didn't have the same things to put you to sleep in those days,today it is just a scratch on the back of the hand and before you know it you are awake again and it is all over,you have done well to master speaking as you do,it is surprising what we can do when life throws things at us and almost tells us there it is so get on with it,and that is what we have to do otherwise we would just shrink in a corner and feel sorry for ourselves which would not be good,well done in everything you have achieved lots of love from Jenny M
