I cringed when their daughter had breast cancer and they removed her breast with no anesthetic. Yikes! That surgical 'knife' was enough to make any woman cringe. I don't blame her for not wanting to have a second surgery when the cancer reappeared. Death would be much kinder, IMHO.
I came away from the series with a new found respect and admiration for our founding fathers and their families.
Abigail was my favorite. She was an incredible woman. Graceful, loving and strong. I don't think I could have survived in those times. I'm too spoiled. LOL
That having been said, I'm sure our founding fathers are spinning in their graves when they see what corrupt politicians have done to the country they loved so much. They sacrificed so much to make this Republic the greatest country in the world!
Do you know if it's going to air again? I missed part of one episode and would like to watch it again.
And, no, you did not want to have surgery of ANY sort back then. Washington had a tumor cut out of his abdomen without anesthesia. Unbelievable pain associated with medical procedures back then.
