Back in those days you really didn't need to have someone with you. Not quite so many paedophiles or abductors, you see.

@redprospect51 r u serious, 6 year old walking home from hospital, alone. was anyone with you

[redprospect51]

@Aggressiveinline101 When I was 6 i had mine removed, except I grew up in Russia and this was 1994 so the operation was done without any anesthetic what so ever, I was tied down to the chair (arms and legs) and was completely conscious throughout the entire procedure. I cant distinctly remember the pain, but I do remember my body convulsing from the pain, so it was pretty bad. I was released the same day and had to walk home from the hospital through the snow, in the Russian winter... good times
