Home Again

I went to Logan to visit my parents for a few days. The update on them is that Dad is very sore with his broken ribs and Mom is not feeling very good. I was with them Sat-Tues. Mom battled nausea every day but Sat. By early afternoon she was able to hold down some broth and crackers and then she ate a little dinner later on. She's really having a rough time.

Russ and John helped Dad get signed up with home health (He won't be able to drive for over 2 wks. He's not up to driving now anyway, but don't tell him that.) Mom is signed up with Hospice. One great advantage to this is they will do her blood draws and some "dr" stuff. That will help her to be able to stay home more. I took them to dr app'ts Tues. She was not up to that at all.

I also got to go to the temple when Russ and Sharon did Jami's temple work. Actually Julie and Sharon did her work but Russ was there too. What a great day!

I have to throw in one bit of humor. I went to the McDonald's drive through. I ordered a 3 piece chicken strips and a cup of ice water. The screen showed the chicken for $3.40, a bottle of water free and a med coke for something like $1.75. I told her that I didn't want a coke. She said that that was how she had to bill the ice water. But wait; the bottled water was free! She said that it was complimentary. So after some discussion and some different things popping up on my screen we finally ended up with the 3 piece chicken for 3.40 and a free bottled water and I was sure that the total showed up as 3.68. I got to the window and she asked if I wanted fries. I said no and she said my total was 3.88. I said wait a minute does it cost .20 more to not have fries. She said yes. I said, then give me the dang fries. Then she says that then my total would be 4 something. By now I am really confused and just wanted to get my chicken strips and water and get out of there. And I'm guessing that when I drove away she was thinking what a whacky lady. Yes, I have ordered from a drive through before and never had this much fun. I wondered if I was in the middle of an Abbott and Costello dialog (Who's on first)or where was the hidden camera? It was strange.
