[5:00pm] i dont remember how i formatted my titles on here lol. anyways, i graduated high school!!! graduation was kinda boring tbh but i got to hang out with my friends and take pictures which was cool. it was really hot with no shade but i didn't get heatstroke again which is good lol. 

but today something similar to heatstroke did happen- i had a doctors appointment at 6:30am this. morning as i said in my last post, and it was pretty interesting. first of all everyone in the waiting room kept staring at me because it was all super old people in there and then little teenage me. then i got called in and dressed myself in a hospital gown and laid on the table to get my echocardiogram done, which wasn't really too bad. they had me in a pretty comfortable position, with me laying on my side and my arm under the pillow. plus the lights were off and they were playing soft music which was nice. then a trap door dropped out from under me so my chest wouldn't be so squished. the ultrasound mostly happened over my heart, but then it moved to under my ribcage, on my boob, and on my lower neck. it felt really weird and a bit uncomfortable, especially the neck part. but it was fine and then i was ready to go, or so i thought. the doctor looked back at the computer and said i also should do a "bubble test", which is when they inject saline bubbles into you and see how they travel through the blood. the first issue was that the only person trained to do that wasn't at work yet, then they showed up but went to a different patient. then they came to me and couldn't find a vein. they tried both my inner elbows and two times on each wrist, all with no luck. so they called in another person who just showed up, and she was able to find a vein, but it hurt quite a bit. suddenly i felt super hot and light headed, and next thing i knew i was laying on the table with everyone hovering over me. turns out i fainted lol. i usually never faint when getting IVs and stuff, but i guess it's because i didn't eat or drink anything lol. i woke up to early to do all that (my stomach hurts when i eat/drink early in the morning). that's also why they had so much trouble finding a vein. for the ones they tried in my wrist, it wouldn't even go in my skin all the way because for some reason i have a lot of scar tissue there. i sprained my wrist a few years ago but that wouldn't cause a ton of scar tissue, especially on both wrists lol. anyways, after i fainted, the doctors got me water and peanut butter crackers, which was very nice and tasty. after they assured that i was okay again, they had me lay back down to do the test. i had to clench my stomach and cough while someone was pumping saline into me, which was super easy. i was told i would taste salt, but all i felt was my arm being a little tingly. they kept taking my blood pressure and it was super low, lower than usual. usually it's 90-something over another two-digits number, but this time it was about 10-20 things lower on both ends. idk how it works, but i know relatively what is low and what is normal, and i was super low lol. when it was over i was allowed to change and go home, although the doctors were hesitant about letting me drive. 

once i got home i watched Clarence with my dog and then picked up my little sister from her last day of school. then we watched some reels together until my friend Tony arrived. then we watched some more reels until we were able to free ourselves from it, and we went to our favorite ice cream place. it's not really ice cream though, it's actually some kind of frozen shaved Korean condensed milk thing. i usually get cookies and cream, but this time i got brownie bc my sister wanted to eat the little cheesecake bits that come with it. there were a lot of people from school there which was kind of scary lol. then we went back to my place where we watched some old youtube videos of my sister. then Tony and I walked my dog down to the creek by my house. it was really muddy and my dog kept getting stuck in the mud up to her tummy and freaking out which was fun to watch. we walked up and down the creek and made sure my dog cleaned the mud off in the clean parts of the water. there were spiders and ducks and ducklings and little worms, but no snakes this time. then we went back to our house and ate some strawberry posicles in the back lawn with my sister. there were some kind of stinging bugs trying to mate right in front of us, and then they all swarmed onto my arm and we all ran away lol. then we watched some brain rot youtube until my sister fell asleep and Tony had to go home.

then i went up to my room and for my drawing tablet working for the new macbook i got for graduation. it took days for me to figure it out but i finally did it :) then i tested it out by doing some math for college homework, and got bored and decided to write on here lol. now i think im gonna play some roblox because im too tired to do any more math rn. also when we were at the ice cream place, my card was declined again. it's been getting declined all week, and i think it's because my dad never transferred my account to me once i turned 18. he was given a deadline and threats of my card getting paused, and im pretty sure the deadline was may 18 which was a while ago. hopefully we get that fixed. also my dad keeps making me call the medical insurance to argue to get my bills down, but its so painful and i don't really care since im not the one paying for it lol. also i discovered a new roblox game called Better Discovery, which is basically just a better front page with games that arent just brain rot. so im gonna go look at that lol
