Debbie Charlie Luz:So I go to the doctor the other day. And this is a new thing. I have a physical right. And they must look at me like, Oh, she's transitioned. So there's a new, there's a new thing they do that I guess they don't do when you're a little bit younger, right. And there's a new nurse mine retired and this woman, you know, they gotta go to have an EKG, I knew she was my age, because she had everything twisted, like a bad blow dryer with the wires. And she can say I'm so sorry. I'm like, I just had that happen. Today. She couldn't get it. I'm like, man. So then we finally get everything on right? And you hope you're gonna live. And there's all these very beginning she's I'm going to tell you a couple of words. And you're going to remember them. And then we're going to talk about other things. We'll come back later. And you tell me the words I told you. I'm like, Oh, forget it. So here's what's going on. Forget it. Already. In my head. As I show up, I have things to tell the doctor that I wrote on a notepad that I got. In my head, I'm going alright, tell them about the allergies. It's a and don't forget to but the only thing you're going to have the tea. So I've had all these letters in my head about just remembering to memorize what I wanted to tell her boom, boom, boom. She comes in and gives me three two words like a apple orange and like some other thing and I'm like, Oh, wow, now alphabet soup. Then she's talking about other things. Your skirt back goes. So what were those two remember those two words? I go Yeah, I go. I give her the One Two when I go on the third one. I was like, Listen, lady, I was filing she's like, Yeah, it's okay, Annie.
