Wearable cotton yarn?

Neither did my kids, when they went to school in Toronto. It was thought not nessisary any more, but maybe we were to quick with that thought.

I was diagnosed with TB back in the early 70s. I was in a special TB ward for over 3 months. No one else in my family or co-workers got sick. I don't seem to have any lasting effects except that I am very careful to go to the doctor if I have a cold that goes to my lungs.

We go back a long way, Els!

Katherine

Carol that must have been a bad scare for you. Glad that that is behind you

Els

We old grey ancient oldies.....LOL (with a great big grin on my face.....)

Thanks kiddo for your great pattern. I know that Otto's mother made these Ascot scarves as well. Interestingly, when I was back in Holland in 1996, one of my very sophisticated nieces wore one made out of fur, quite the in thing to wear apparently.

Els

Fur? I like the sound of that! I was meant to be filthy rich, you know!

Katherine

Well there you go, get yourself a moose, you know, one of those animals you sometimes meet on the road in Labrador. or a bear, will do as well, you will look just smashing with your lovely little bear fur.....LOL

I mentioned to a doctor once that my mother had hd TB, and he said 'everybody your age has a mother who had TB'. I don't think that's quite true... (I'm 26, fwiw)

Bear fur? Interesting. But I think that fox fur would be nicer.

Katherine

LOL Well, my children don't have a mother who had TB. Where did your doctor do his training?

Katherine

Elsje i wanted to ask , Are they still inoculating against TB in Canada ??? mirjam

*grin* Well we all know that I have lots of those! LOL I just corrected what I was about to type... that I was full of it/them.... but then it hit me that the two of you would have pounced on that comment. hehehe

My son will be 24 in August (omigod, where did the time go?!?) and his mother never had TB.

Gemini

Thank you Els. Yes, it was scary at the time but as you say, Glad that it is behind me now. Carol in TN

W-e-lllll... as my Dad used to say... better to be full of IT that full of sXit! LOL Noreen

I had a friend who was mis-diagnosed with Legionairre's in the late 80's, turned out to be a form of TB from his pidgeons... Carol, that must've been quite a scare! Noreen

I've no idea, but I didn't go back to him. Funnily enough, he's been brilliant with my son (6). We're in Cambridge, in England.

well, i'm 50 & my mom never had TB. however, she was a nurse & was exposed to TB, so she tests positive. oddly enough, i also test positive but we have no idea where i could have been exposed. lee
