What the hell
Ok, my memory is not as good as it used to be. I admit that.
I also admit to being able to sing lyrics to about 75 percent of songs recorded in the 50s and 60s, and almost all the Beatles songs.
I now know that in This Diamond Ring, the line is this stone is genuine, like love should be. For years I could not understand what they were singing. I heard this stone is genuine, blah blah blah and see.
And it is wrapped up like a deuce, another roller in the night. Not wrapped up like a douche, which adds a whole new meaning to the song.
I still don't get Louie, Louie except for we gotta go now and Mony Mony is a total audio scramble, especially the parts shouted out by drunken people at wedding receptions. I think the word shake is said.....
So understand, my memory is not great, but it is not terrible.
So tonight, sitting at a church meeting, I was blindsided by a comment. We have a new minister and at some point I told the story of me taking the wrong medicine when I had some surgery. Instead of taking Norco for pain, I took Norvasc, which is a high blood pressure medication, for pain. They both start Nor. I took it maybe three times before I realized the mistake and contacted Emily, who immediately knew what I had done.
That was funny. Then the comment came. "Terry has the funniest medical story I have ever heard. But you don't know him well enough yet for him to tell it."
I had no idea what the story was!
I have been thinking about it and it hit me what had happened. I asked Jackie if she remembered the situation and she said yes, and started laughing.
But neither of us can remember when.
Emily started it. That's all I will say.
But you would think if I could remember Yellow Polka Dot Bikini I would remember a hospital stay and ambulance ride to Rockford.
Funny how the mind works, or doesn't work.
Peace and Love
