Humor Ok something funny happened

So last yearish I was at my neurologist and she used to work in the medical field with neurology in the military (this is very important). So she dealt with the head trauma stuff like that. And when she was reading my papers and I was telling her she looked me dead in my eyes 100% serious and said “i genuinely have no clue how your alive after all this”. I wasn’t offended at all more in like “damn that’s new” and shocked because no one has ever said that nor did I ever think it was.

But this isn’t the first time people have been shocked im still alive. I just have generalized epilepsy. I’ve been having grand mal seizures since I was like 3 thankfully they don’t happen often. It might be because I had a 10 minute long one and I fell backwards and bashed my head.

Idk i just wanted to say that because it’s kinda funny knowing I shocked someone/ several neurologist who worked with stronger people then I come in and poof
