My Child Years Chapter Two

I still can rember some of my trips to the hospital but most without someone telling me. I do remeber the time when i had a seizure because i was shivering all night and my parents had called an ambulance for me and i also remeber being up till three in the morning that day and coming home after, then sleeping till 1:00 in the afternoon.  Then there was a time when i got some bad headaches, and had to have a doctor's appointment at the cleaveland clinic, i still remeber on that day when they switched my shunt tap with a spinal fluid test instead, i wasn't very excited about that and i met a new doctor and i was really nervous around him too, because i didn't know him very well and after awhile my headaches were gone and i didn't have to go through a spinal fluid test or shunt tap, which i was very thankful that my headaches went away. There also was a time where they took me off one of medications and put me on a new one called topamax, which wasn't a good medicine for me because it made me feel small and everythingelse big, like a Alice And Wonderland Movie. So then after awhile We switched back to my seizure medication Phenobarbital and got rid of Topamax. I was glad to be back on my medication that i have had for awhile and not be on a new one. When i did have surgery on my tenth birthday, there where some things that had to change for me like, no roller coasters,  no jumping too high on trampolines, not doing cartwheels, and especially not putting magnets up to my shunt that could reset it. At first i didn't like the fact that i couldn't do cartwheels or go on roller coasters, but i knew rhat if i did these things it wouldn't be good at all and i am very thank full that i didn't have to go through anymore surgeries and i hope i never have to ever again.
