Sleepy Tuesday chat

A friend of mine thought the line, "And as we wind on down the road" was "And there's a wino down the road." 

We had a book that was a collection of "misunderstood" song lyrics (I don't know what happened to it, actually!).  One of the entries was that line from Purple Haze, so you weren't alone in that misunderstanding, Cathy.

One of the funniest ones in the book was someone thinking the CCR song lyric was "There's a bathroom on the right" instead of "bad moon on the rise."

DH had a friend who thought Huey Lewis was singing, "I want a new truck" (not DRUG).

LOL!! For the longest time, I thought the line from Purple Haze (Jimi Hendrix) was " 'scuse me while I kiss this guy" until my friend heard me singing it and told me it was " 'scuse me while I kiss the sky". I'm sure there were/are a lot of other songs I've messed up the lyrics on.

And how many of us heard CCR sing "there's a bathroom on the right"?

Thanks for  the good wishes, guys. I'm really not a total klutz.  Honest.  I don't think I'm breaking bones because I'm falling.  I think I'm falling because bones break.  I made the choice years ago not to take hormones knowing that they'd protect my bones, but that statistically I'd be at a higher risk for breast cancer. I asked myself that if I was going to be a statistic, what would be the least scary to deal with and for me that was weaker bones. Last year was a fractured left hip, now it's a brand new right hip.  I asked the doc as long as he was going to be digging around in there giving me new stuff, if I could get a new butt and maybe some new boobs too, but he said "no" - just the hip.  Bummer. DS #2 is an amazing help and really thought of some things to make this all easier.  I'm getting around pretty good, just slower than usual. They sent me home with some high octane narcotics (pain meds) but so far I haven't needed them, and every day that passes it seems less likely that I will need them. I'll never get through airport security again without a TSA strip search.

 That book of the misunderstood song lyrics would be a riot to read, as well as probably make one feel better when they see they were not alone in their misunderstanding the lyrics of some of the songs.

On a more serious note, I'm glad that you're feeling well enough to avoid the heavy-duty pain meds.  I hope the rest of your recovery involves as little discomfort as possible.  Is there anything the doctors say you can do now to strengthen your bones (like calcium or Vitamin D or something)?  Trying to make decisions about when to take hormonal supplements can be very tough --- weighing the different risks and having to figure out what's the lesser of two evils. 

I guess the good thing is that your new hip is unbreakable now, right (even if it does set off all the alarms at airport security)!  :-)  I hope Max is a good nurse, keeping you company as you recuperate.  Keep the fridge and cupboards stocked with your favorite treats, and line up some good books and movies to enjoy while you heal!
