When life was cheap. Plus a life story which was only the beginning.
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! )
