PEORIA, Ill. (CBS/AP) People get shot every day; however, it's not every day that people get shot, forget they got shot, and carry on with their daily routine.

For 48-year-old Tracy Durham this is exactly the case. He claims he remembers hearing the pop, and only discovered the gunshot wound after a neighbor asked him about his limp.

The Illinois man told police he thinks he was shot by a friend during a party late Sunday at his home after he called the friend's girlfriend ugly. He heard the pop - he thought it was someone cracking open some champagne -  drank some whiskey and, he says, felt no pain.

Despite the whiskey and the partying, Sunday did not end up being a Funday. Not a Funday at all.

He told police he went to sleep around 3 a.m. Monday and discovered the wound about four hours later.

Police questioned Durham while he was being treated at a local hospital, but he would not give the name of the man he suspects shot him.
