I cant believe that one event can and has changed my life so dramatically.
Week before last I had an ‘episode’ in class. Just imagine this, I’m in class, being the good student that I am,the lecturer is doing his lecturing and then I start feeling sick and seconds later I collapse. Just like that! I mean, I usually see it coming, it not being the first time that I have fainted[its been something I remember happening since I was a child. Not healthy? I know] and when I came to I was still in my chair, my eyes wide open[trust me, it was weird for me too] and everybody staring at me like I have something hanging out of my nose. Oh and by the way nobody did anything to help me. I don’t know, maybe I expected too much of students in a CHRISTIAN UNIVERSITY!!!
If I was in the street, I’m sure somebody would have at least tried to help. Well I would have been robbed but still…
I have never felt so frustrated and angry in my life. One because I couldn’t do anything about it[you know, me being dizzy, confused and all] and two because… well because everyone was like ‘Its your problem. you deal with it’. In fact, the lecturer went on with the class as if nothing was happening. After a few minutes I managed to text my mom, the only person my head could register at the time[and who lives five hours away!!!] and tell her what had happened. Of course she could do nothing about the situation and only managed to call a relative who didn’t even know where the college is.
But lucky for me, I managed to ‘recover’ after about forty minutes. I was kinda confused but was determined not to stay in that class, so I picked my stuff and walked out of the class. Up to this day, I don’t know how I got to my place safely and without another incident.
So fast forward to last week, I went to see a doctor who has prescribed epilepsy medication for me, which I’m sure I don’t have and have to take this medication for one month[well, that’s the dramatic part] and may as well continue taking it for the rest of my life [oh God no!!!]
Anyways the meds make me tired and I feel slowed down, if that makes sense.For the past three weeks, I’ve hardly felt like myself with ‘mini-episodes’ happening since the first one.In fact yesterday , I thought I might collapse in class. Thank God I didn’t.
Well, now that we are all caught up with my exciting life, tell me how’s yours so far?
