I had a doctors appointment this day so for me nothing new at least i thought.For this was a normal neurologist appointment.I knew what doctor we were seeing and i knew where as well as the fact that i was either missing school leaving early or going to be late.I do not remember wich one this was a while back. I would probably say i missed the whole day of school.There were clues that i should of picked on to know something was up but i did not i was 9 so how was i suppose to know something heartaching was going to happen. The frist thing off was my father went to the appointment with me and my mom.I do not remember my dad every being at an appointment with us before or after this day.We get to cooks hospital and go to the 4th floor neurology and my mom checks me in while i play in the play area.The nurse calls me into the back so we go and i get my height and wheight and all that.The nurse opens the door to the room and the room was already full.Normally he nurse checks you in and then the doctor comes in.My parents knew exactly what was happening i had no eartlhy idea. The room was full of people and i only new 2 of them my neurologiest and his nurse Dr.Hernandez and angie. The rest i had no clue Why were there so many people here. Then i go in the room do my normal exam part then the bomb goes off.The doctors then tell me i am needing brain surgery.What wetre they talking about?!! Brain surgery me why??!! The surgeon then talks to me and tells me.All i was hearing was blah blah blah scary blah blah scary!!! This was it i was not really getting anything else out. My parents and the doctors and nurses talk.I go in the hallway and a child life specialist brings a doll and other things to show me what was going to happen and why.She made me feel better but i was still overwhelmed! I was going to have to have brain surgery my life was turning upside down again. This was suppose to help but i was a kid and it felt like everything was crushing my world every time i turned around!
A routine doctors appointment well i thought!
