Thunder Is a Witness to A Seizure

 

         As we open this story up, we find that Jimmy has just finished his breakfast.   He is in fact to the

point in the day where he is brushing his teeth and shaving his face.  This is when he notices soars on 

his tongue he calls Thunder to him, and questions if anything strange had happened to him while he 

slept.

         Thunder replies with, "well Jimmy, I was meaning to talk to you about your sleeping behavior.  

Last night while you slept you were doing a lot of flipping, flopping, and kicking.  At first, I thought it 

was just part of a human's strange sleep pattern when they were in rapid eye movement (REM.)  Then I 

saw blood coming out of your mouth which I found strange, and knew it wasn't R.E.M.   When I saw 

blood coming out of your mouth I figure I'd better clear my schedule for the next day, and have you 

checked out.

        At that time Jimmy said, "great I had a seizure, and none but you noticed it."  So, Jimmy called in

sick to work, because he was tired from the seizure.  At thunder's insistence he went to Saint's hospital 

to get checked out.  Thunder put Jimmy in his red van and drove him to Saint's hospital, which was on 

the other side of town.  

          While the hospital was supposed to get ahold of someone at PDQ, which is where Jimmy's. 

neurologist, Doctor Shamrock worked.  Once Jimmy and Thunder were able to get ahold of someone at 

PDQ.  The quickest they could get him in to see someone was to see Doctor Shamrock's nurse, Karen.

They took it due to the fact that if they did not take that date it would have to wait until June. 

        In the meantime, Thunder and Jimmy were talking to Doctor Kroger about Jimmy's psych meds

to see if that could be the reason for the seizure.  Doctor Kroger told them as strange as it may sound 

that most Psych meds could cause seizures.  Nevertheless, Doctor Kroger took him off of Psycho, since 

it was believed to be what caused the seizure and put him on Ohcysp.

               Jimmy could not believe that he had gone two years without a seizure, and then he had one.

One thing was for certain, and that was his tongue hurt.  That and the fact that his roommate, Thunder 

had witnessed a seizure.
