After the last child was born and the family moved to Las Vegas, Doctor Reichman told Mom she had to have a hysterectomy. Thirteen pregnancies left Mom in poor contition. She was told this would put her out of action for heavy work for at least 6 weeks.
Mom worried about how her family woudl get along while she was in St. George recovering form the operation. In preparation for her absence, mom made a large batch of bread for her hungry children.
The operation was a success. After her hospital confinement she went home to Las Vegas to discover all her bread was still there, hard and moldy. Everyone had enjoyed the fangled store bought soft white bread. It was ears before Mom would bake another loaf of bread.
