I GOT JANK BRAIN!!!!!!!!!

Hello everynyan ;<;

Rory aka Blue Zombie here with a life update and an explanation why I've been so quiet on here. I recently had a medical scare and had to spend a couple days in the emergency room :/ I was just chillin when all of the sudden I felt like I was going to pass out. This happens to me frequently, but it was particularly scary last week because I felt like I couldn't hear and my vision was spinning for a second. I had to get a CAT scan and everyone told me it was gonna feel like I was pissing myself???? but I just felt hot everywhere for a couple seconds ;_;

I got all my vitals checked over and over and they made me do some tests to check my blood pressure in a bunch of different positions, but everything seemed fine :/ CAT scan came back fine :/ EKG came back fine :/ vitals were fine :/ piss and blood samples fine :/ I'm REEEEAAALLLY relieved to know that it's nothing fatal or life threatening in any way, my mom tried to convince me I had a brain tumor for a while, and that was always in the back of my brain (pun unintended) scaring me. So I def think I'm gonna be able to rest easy knowing it's nothing like that and everything seems in order physically. Also I had a really cool nurse taking care of me and he was like "thanks for the trip down memory lane" cuz of my outfit, and then we were talking about bands we liked and the local scene. it was freaking epic.

Eric the ER nurse??? more like Epic the ER nurse.

But, I'm still in the dark about what the problem is... so I'm waiting for a call from a neurologist. My suspicion is Narcolepsy Type 1, I've been telling people that for a while to explain my cataplexy episodes. If you don't know what that is, it's basically just that all my muscles stop working for a second when I get too excited or scared or angry or laugh too hard. I'm still awake, but I just can't move at all and can collapse to the floor. sometimes it's less intense, and it might be just my neck and arms, but more often than not, I end up on the ground for like 30 seconds. That's been happening for most of my life. I always thought it was just a weird little quirk until one day my therapist was like... hey. maybe u should get that checked out? and I was like??? FR??? THAT'S WEIRD?? damn bro wtf.

I'm really dreading the testing for it. I might need to get a spinal tap. (kill me pls.) WHY CAN'T THE TESTING JUST BE LIKE??? IDK MAKE ME LAUGH AND WATCH MY KNEES WOBBLE OR WATCH ME HIT THE FLOOR?????? I DON'T WANT A NEEDLE EXTRACTING MY FUCKING BRAIN JUICES BRO.

anyway, I'll cross that bridge when I get there. Hoping it is NT1 and nothing really dangerous. Wish me luck, Spacehey. Hopefully the leprechauns are with me today. I'm gonna go play with my tamagotchi and then maybe hop on L4D. Hope everyone reading this is having a good day, and thx for making it this far :) Love yall, go get a glass of water!

Peace <3
