The Bookworm Girl

24. It's All Skittles Fault

     When I walked in the room the doctor told us to go in I was so shocked. I mean their was no uncomfortable bed/table in the corner with that noisy paper on top, like what a typical patient  room would have. Wait, Roy isn't in a typical patient, because he's more special than others that's why were at a specialist Doctor place. Why couldn't I just put the pieces together in the first place, i'm starting to feel like Humpty Dumpty.

   Roy and I both sat on these so bouncy chairs that were so comfortable I couldn't help but start jumping away my nervousness. Roy looked at me as if I was an alien the whole time, but I ignored Mr. Grumpy pants- Roy, sorry I meant Roy. 

" Seeds stop acting like a five year old." I wish I could still be five, living the child life is way more easier than a teens life going to become an adult. So with that being said I will never stop acting like a five year old.

" It's okay grum- Roy to be upset. But you gotta try a bounce on the chair!" I kept bouncing until the Doctor twisted the door handle I immediately stopped and sat still as a carrot waiting patiently for the doctor to make his grand entrance. I'm not sure how he will do that if he's just opening and closing a door. 

   The Doctor sat on his little twisty chair, and gave us a small smile- which I of course returned with a huge smile.

" Hello Roy, and..."

" Isabel." I held my hand out which he gladly accepted.

" I'm Doctor Suvize." He grabs a clipboard and an extra piece of note paper to jot things down I suppose.

" So what's been going on recently?" Roy laid his head back and briefly closed his eyes, making Mr. Suvize glance my way to answer.

" You see, recently he's been having more episodes and the worst mood swings. Like an an example would be today not even two hours ago I woke up to a huge shattering noise. And my auntie- I have never really seen her so worried for someone like I witnessed her today. So, from what my Auntie said, Roy dropped a glass cup and he tried cleaning it with his hands. His palms were bleeding, and he was shaking so badly and he looked extremely frustrated and I tried to comfort him but he only pulled his hair. You see this past week after he has he seizure and he wakes up he's super shaky and he gets so frustrated so easily, then he'll sometimes be so frustrated he will try and pull his hair out. Which is super painful. His friends and I are becoming more worried so I brought him here." Mr. Suvize wrote more things down before looking back up.

" Well I see the 200 milligram of Carbamazepine isn't working anymore. I'm gonna write  a prescription for Brivaracetam. Brivaracetam also known as Briviact should help reduce his seizures. But  their are side effects, the most common ones is him feeling tired, Dizziness a lot of people experience so that shouldn't be too concerning, but definitely get him in sit down if that happens and feeling Nauseous. The more serious symptoms is his change in behavior. He can have awful mood swings or a mood change, anxiety, and hallucinations. Also, having Suicidal  Behavior- also when you seem him dizzy or you think he might be make sure he doesn't drive especially in these first weeks in taking his medication. He also can have a Hypersensitivity reaction, which he might be wheezing from, angioedema ( swelling under skin . It all depends on how his body takes in the new medication. " Okay too much to take in slow down! How am I supposed to remember all this? 

" Okay.. I'm probably not gonna remember, but is their a website I can go to just in case?" He quickly wrote down some websites, he gave me the dosage number and several more papers I quickly texted Auntie to pick us up since we were done. Roy looked like he just woke up as we headed outside and waited.

" Okay did you hear anything the Doctor said?" I made eye contact with Roy.

" No." Bummer, okay.

" So basically he switched you to another medication, and theirs a lot of side effects and you need to tell me everything you are feeling and thinking." I give him a smile making him raise a brow.

" What does sexy plus hot equal Seeds?" I look at him confused, how am I supposed to know this?

" Equals a jalapeño in a toaster." I give him a smile. He definitely wasn't expecting that for an answer. He brought his dark brows together.

" What?" I didn't really want to explain my answer, but thankfully Auntie just arrived on time.

" Hey look my Auntie's here! Let's go." I grab the papers tightly in my hand and got into the passenger seat. 

" Hi Toby! Aren't you a sleepy head today!" He gave me a huge smile before yawning. Roy just looked at both of us before out the window.

" When do I start taking it?" I look down at one of the papers. 

" One at 7:25 and the other at 2:50. 50mg but if it's not working we bump that up to 100mg."He nodded and went on his phone real quick. 

   Once we got home we all decided to watch a movie together. Toby says it's a surprise and I really want to know it, but I mean we need snacks for the movie. So being me, loving food I grab a glass bowl and filled it up with M&M's another one with milky way bars, two containers filled with popcorn and Four orange juice in these big plastic cup. One was a royal Blue, another was a plum Purple, a green apple and lastly was a red strawberry. You can probably tell which ones who's. 

   Turns out we were watching my favorite Disney movie Beauty and The Beast. I treasure that movie so much it's life. Well my family and friends first then the movie. I grabbed a handful of M&M's and shoved them all in my mouth- I love M&M's they are so good! I can never get enough of it. Though I wish I had skittles, I sadly ran out of them yesterday. So I replaced them for now. Sorry skittles- i'm actually not very sorry because it's your fault for running out. 

" You don't want to choke Seeds, just take a small handful." I show him my hand and compare it to his huge one.

"See! My hands are small making me grab small handfuls. " He simply rolled his eyes before grabbing some popcorn.
