"The Science Class Seizure"
  by: punkrockgurl13

We had been learning about the earth in science and my teacher wanted people to hold meter sticks in the front of the classroom, so I put up my hand and went to the front of the class. After about 5 min. of standing up there I started to fell light headed, so I thought if I moved around I wouldn't have a seizure but, I did. I woke up on the cold tile floor and my teacher was clearing all the kids out, my teacher keeped telling me I was "so brave" the school nurse came down ad called the hospital.(I was scared I hate the hospital and that made it worst) the only funny thing was the paramedics were gossiping. The way I fell they thought I could have broken my neck so for 3 or 4 hours I had to lay on a board and when it finally came to I was fine, so they tried twisting my hands a feet but it hurt really really bad and my ankle was broken! Later, when my mom made me go to school I was so scared that the kids would make fun of me but only some did the rest were really nice! A week after I got my red cast on, it had to come off. I had rebroken it so this time I got a blue cast since its my brother's favorite color! Ergo, Epilepsy is not as bad as you think it is its as bad as you make it!
