My father never threw away anything.
Ever.
Anything.
This is making my life more difficult, but on the other hand, after emptying the bottom drawer of his desk... I now know what I cost!
The hospital bill for my birth totals $146.63, which I suppose was a lot of money back then. Mom's semi-private room cost $14 per day. She stayed for 5 days. The cost of the nursery (hey, that's me!) was $25, so I assume it was $5 per day.
Anesthesia was $11, the delivery room cost $15. 16 cents for medicine a few days after I was born? What, two aspirin?
Dad paid in cash.
For some reason there was a $4.40 discount.
I came with a discount? Cool!

And, totally cool, I found 7 typed pages in the drawer that had to be a college writing assignment - Dad's life story up until that point:( read more! )
