I realize sports medicine has achieved remarkable results over the years
with newfound treatments and remedies.
But I doubt if any of the modern discoveries medical science has fostered
upon us could match my mother's remedy for almost anything - the dreaded
mustard plaster.
For those of you who were never blessed with an application let me only
say that it consisted of a pasty mixture concocted in the very depths of
Hades itself that, when applied to the skin, caused a sensation something
akin to what you experience when you set yourself on fire.
But mama believed in their healing properties with every fiber of her
being.
They were, according to the instructions on the back of the box, to be
used to relieve congestion associated with colds and the flu.
But mama saw in them much more far-reaching possibilities.
As a result, bumps and bruises were also targets for their miracle-working
propensities.
Because of this I tried my best to hide even the most horrific of my
childhood injuries from her.
Following a catastrophic collision of four bicycles in my backyard one
memorable summer afternoon during which I was hurled at least 10 feet in
the air onto a gravel pit of grievous proportions, I succeeded in covering
up the subsequent Chester of Gunsmoke fame-like limp I incurred with a
teeth-grinding will that amazes me yet to recall.
