My brother was born this day in a Navy hospital. They gave my mom, who weighed 135 WITH my brother, 100 mg of Demerol! She was so loopy that no matter what dad said to her she replied “You typed it wrong. Do it over again.” Then they played musical bedpan. That was when mom said she had to go to the bathroom so dad brought her a bed pan. She then asked what it was and refused it when dad told her. After doing this many times dad put the bed pan under her only to see my brother crowning. She had been pushing for half an hour and didn’t know it!
I learned this story from my dad because to this day mom’s memory of events is still foggy.
