In those days I walked a mile to my home. I told my teacher I needed to call my mom and she said I needed to sit down, and that school would be out soon.
It was springtime and the trees and grasses were in full bloom in California. I was in my first-grade class when I first started having trouble breathing. My tonsils came out next… the surgery du jour. Shortly after that time, I started having swelling in my throat. I flipped over my Bigwheel and smashing my head on the sidewalk. I started having immune problems as a child at the age of 3.
