We are 61 (as of September 2011) year old twins born five minutes apart. One of us has a Doctorate Degree, and the other one has Down Syndrome. This BLOG is a recollection of my life with my mentally disabled twin sister Elizabeth who we also affectionally call Liz or Lizzie.
OMGoodness ... Dr. Charlie! Lizzie would take up to 20 minutes setting up her doctor's bag and equipment in a most specific manner. She would interview me with questions about signs and symptoms and take written notes like no MD has ever done! Sometimes I would make stuff up just to keep her working on me in her most mesmerizing way until I finally started to drift. She ended my exams with a foot rub that surpasses any professional massage I have ever had. Lizzie isn't interested in Dr. Charlie any more, and I miss these moments with her.
ReplyDeleteHi Yo!
ReplyDeleteI fondly remember the times I played "restaurant" with my good friend Debbie McClure. We would take turns being the customer and the waitress. We had so much fun making the menus, of course they were very limited! I think the only things that were on the menu were Oreo cookies, milk, and PBJ's!!! But when I think of it...what else did we need??? Gosh...how the fun in my life has revolved around food and friends!!!!!! Oh, by the way, Debbie was deaf! Yup, she couldn't hear/speak and I didn't know sign language! We didn't need either...
