9. Reagan's Inauguration Day
Mon Jan 21, 2013, 08:42 PM
Jan 2013

Of all things I was getting my wisdom teeth out that day. All 4 at once, general anesthesia, in the chair at the oral surgeons office. I was only 22 and a young Dem, already detested Reagan (if we only knew how much detesting was in the future...)
I could hear the news on the radio announcing the miraculous release of the hostages on Reagan's Inauguration Day, what an incredible coincidence! Not sure if I said that or just thought it as the nurse injected the funny stuff on my vein and the rest was blank til I woke up an hour later with a mouthful of stitches and cotton.
