10. It's weird...I remember being in the tent, but I don't remember feeling sick

or afraid at all!

I don't think they use oxygen tents anymore.

Another thing I remember when I was about that age...the doctor's office was two doors down from my house. I remember my mother carrying me and running like hell to the doctor's. The doc threw me down on a table and started jamming his fingers (or maybe an instrument?) down my throat.

I swallowed a stick or something, and it got stuck.

But I don't remember choking or anything like that. Just that doctor shoving something down my throat.

I don't try to eat sticks anymore. Usually.
