I had deep brain stimulation one year to try to help eliminate some of my wild movements. I needed to spend 2 nights in the hospital for observation. My mom stayed in the hospital with me. I liked Judge Judy back then so both days at 4:00, I hit my wrist saying that it was time for it. It was a two-part surgery. The doctor drilled the holes.

I got to be a human pancake for 2 nights because the nurses kept flipping me. I had french toast both days for breakfast. I loved it. I felt tired after my first surgery because I needed to get up at 6am. I thought I could settle in for a nap after lunch so I did. As soon as I did, my grandpa and grandma walked in and woke me right back up. I thought “Nice guys. ” It worked good. My grandpa and grandma and grandpa bought me a stuffed dog. Here is a picture of him.
