Day 7 - Your Earliest Memories
I am asthmatic and the only memories I have of when I was younger was about this. I (once again) narrowed it down to two.
1)My First Asthma Attack happened when I was nine months old. I don't remember anything, but my mum told me that I had a rash everywhere and I couldn't breathe. I remember my second asthma attack very clearly though. I was at my friends house for lunch when I was eight years old. I remember eating a dhal which I was allergic to, but not realising after the attack. I was fine for about ten minutes. We chatted at the table and played with their dog (which I probably shouldn't have done, because I'm a little allergic to fur, but anyways). After those ten minutes I remember not being able to breathe and feeling my throat choking me. The ironic part was, I was sitting in front of a 'When You Know You're Getting an Asthma Attack' poster, since she had it too. I was rushed to the hospital and given a Cortisone (I think) injection which calmed me down. I was then put on a nebuliser which helped me breathe again.
2)The Cut on My Head also happened when I was eight (I had a rough year). I remember just getting a new bike. i really wanted to try it out, but the floors were being wiped. Me being the impatient person I am, really wanted to try it out and so I did. Which was a little dumb because the floors were slippery and I should have probably tried it out outside. But anyways, I rode it through the house until you could imagine, I slipped and fell. I fell on the floor while hitting the edge of a door. There was a big gash in my head and the last thing I remember was my parents rushing me into the car. They later told me that I had passed out and was loosing a lot of blood. I was taken to the hospital and I had stitches done on my head. This operation took an hour because they first had to bandage the cast and take care of people who were in worser situations than I was.
But those are the two main things I can remember from when I was younger.
