My father told me I had encephalitis at age 2, 3-day measles about 4.I remember the whooping cough at that age - so sick. Had to wait until 3 years ago to get the chicken pox. Had a fever of unknown origin for 4 days when I was 15, but my heart is in great shape..... -----Original Message----- From: franor [mailto:franor@atmc.net] Sent: Tuesday, November 12, 2002 9:18 AM To: NJ-MEMORIES-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [NJ-Memories] Ready- Or -Not -Here -I- Come -,and ChildhoodDiseases Sure you can remember. I can still see me in a crib with the chicken pox. I don't remember if they scratched but I remember me looking over the top, always ready to get out and go even at that age. I had them all, the only one that carried over was the chicken pox. I was told its in your system and I got the Shinges 3 yrs. ago. True Doris?
