what happened in grade six

Kokubunji, 2026.02.23

When I was in grade six in 1981-82, the migraines were so bad that the doctors put me on a prophylactic medication called elavil. They warned it could make me a bit stunned. The next thing that happened was that my teachers made me write a special report on "drugs". I didn't put 1 + 1 together for perhaps twenty years.

Anyway, I've been back on a prophylactic for migraines for a week. I wonder if anyone thinks I'm on drugs again.
