earlist memory

The earliest memory that I have would have to be when I had an asthma attack as a child. I was about 2 years old and we were at Chucky Cheese for my cousins birthday party. I don't really remember being there but I remember being taken to the hospital and staying at the hospital. I remember being in the backseat of the car wondering what was going on and why is everyone freaking out. Little did I know that my lips were purple. I remember sitting on the bed and Gmommy sitting on the bed in front of me with my Playschool tape player, you know the one with the microphone. I remember laying in the bed inside a white tent and wondering what was going on. It felt like I was getting shots all over. Of course I didn't understand that I was laying in an oxygen tent and the needle feeling was, that tingling feeling you get when a body part falls asleep, because my body wasn't getting enough oxygen. I remember looking up and seeing a milk jug and wondering why did they have a milk jug in my tent. Of course it wasn't a milk jug it was just part of the oxygen tent thing. I spent a couple of nights there. I don't remember staying the night or anything else about the room but I remember the play room there. I had to walk down a long hallway and I was hooked up to an IV, which I refused to let anyone else push around. I insisted on doing it myself and this was an IV poll tall enough for an adult. So you can picture a 2year old trying to push this IV poll around. Of course I wasn't strong enough too and my parents were holding onto the top of the poll pushing it around. lol. There was one of those big bumps in the doorway to the playroom which I had to have help getting the IV poll over. The only thing I remember about the playroom is there was a window seal that was big enough for us to sit in and my mom and I sat in the window playing tea party.

It's strange how you can remember something from when you were so young but you don't remember all the details of it. You don't even remember big chunks of it, just strange pieces. I guess since I was only 2 years old those were the things that I thought were important so that's why those are what I remember. Who knows.
