Dear Everyone -
On Wed. when I visited dad he was so drugged he could barely respond, and slept most of my visit.... which was better than my being accused of a boy friend. Then on Thurs. he was ok. The nurse said it would take a few days for that new med. to work it's way thru his body, so he wouldn't be so groggy. Then another nurse said they give him darvoset for pain, but she and I don't think he has pain. I think the night nurse likes him zonked out so he won't be bothered during his shift. With the saraquil he doesn't need more.

He thinks he is in the temple and needs a white shirt on. Wed. he kept trying to pull off his T shirt and jacket to put on a white shirt. Thurs. they had given him a white pillow case, and he was trying to pull off his shirt and put that on. Then in just a split second he laughed
and said "They think this is a white shirt, but it's a pillow case." Then he was gone into his little world again. It was really strange. On Thurs he was much happier, laughed and talked. I couldn't understand much of what he was saying, but at least he was happy. He kept yelling out the door "Russ, Kay." Both of you had been there playing - as little kids.

Shelby put up my Xmas tree yesterday. Next week she will help me with stuffing the bags for the grandkids. For you who will be mailing pkgs to your out-of-state families I will have them ready.

Alene - will you be sending to Mich, Ga, and Boise?
Carla - you will be sending to Calif, right?
Claire - Ohio, right?
Laurette - Arizona?
Russ - Calif and Canada?
Kay - ?
Jeri - Mich?

If you don't want to mail my things, then I will just send them the $5 in a card. Let me know.

The kids party is Dec 18th, (yipe, that's only 3 wks away) 11: to 2:00, but we are usually out of there by 1:30. Kay, are you in charge of food, again? I have table cloths.


Love, Mom (Lynne Jansen)
