Too Many Times

In 5th grade I had my first two seizures. The first one was when I waiting in the car at a gas station.My mother was so worried about me , she didn't know what to do. They eventually called 911 and I was sent on my fisrt but not last ambulance ride to the hospital.I spent the night there and went home the next day, but on Sunday I had my second seizure and then it was time to go and get all the tests done on my brain to see what was happening, but they couldn't figure out anything.

Then after about 3 or 4 years I was taken off medication just in time, so I was able to get my driver's license.

Then my senior year in high school came around and same did my seizures. I had my third one watching T.V. in the living room. Then Fourth came around and that was when I was on a my trip to the National FFA Convention down in Kentucky. I had it on the bus of course, so everyone could see me. I went to The U- Kentucky hospital on an ambulance again once I woke up from being unconsiouses. I realized I was going to the hospital again. It was around Two o'clock in the afternoon. Then the adults who where with us had to bring the kids 70 miles a way to Louisville. Then they drove all the way back to get me. The hospital fed me supper so I was happy i got food at least. Anyway Everyone was worried about me and asked a bunch of questions on what happened and that sort of stuff. The rest of the week went fine until I got back home.

The next day I had another seizure in Target(of course right in the middle of public again). Also chipped my tooth that day when I fell on to the floor. So I missed one and a half weeks of school. Not really a good start to your senior year.

Right now I am a freshman at UWRF trying to survive college with epilepsy and I haven't had one episode yet. Total amount of seizures I have had 7. That is why I have had too many seizures.
