I did go see Mom and Dad today. Mom had had a shower and ate really good at lunch. Dad was waiting for his shower and didn't eat as well at lunch. Dad kept telling me his stomach was churning---he was right. Margaret said that when they got him in the shower, he let it all go. Not totally diarrhea, but really close. She and another one or two of the girls told me that the stomach flu was going around at LNC. She said it did the same thing last year, too. I HOPE that Dad's not getting sick---he doesn't need it at all. I asked if it was the 24 hour type or what. Margaret said that for some it was 24 hours and for others it was a couple of days or more. Mom was coughing more than normal. Adrienne (sp?) said she'd left Mom sitting up this morning because she was hoping she'd go on and cough it up and not choke! I'm like good grief! I did feed Mom a piece of chocolate candy---VERY interested in it was she! LOL! I also paid the difference of Dad's bill----the amount left from last month and the extra for the Humana that he dropped at the beginning of Sept. HOPEFULLY that will be it other than the normal amount he pays each month. I did not pay that amount for Oct today because I hadn't gotten their social security checks by the time I went to LNC. I asked for Michael Smith and he was gone to lunch. I told the girl at the desk that I wanted him to get Mom's bill together for me. I will TRY to get there earlier next time and maybe catch him. I'd like to see what he has and if it matches up with mine. THEN we can come up with the figure. I hate that it's turned out this way, but that's the way it is. Anyway, I'm doing laundry and fixing to read on my (well, Judy's) book! It's actually very good! Love you all, Jeanie
