 Probably the craziest few days of the year

On the 15th of August 2025, I went to the grocery store to get some food. I collapsed and had the ambulance called for me.... which never arrived lol. They're calling the UK the greatest nation on the planet. I did make it to the hospital for the record, they got me a taxi, but lol?

I was hospitalized and received 2 units of blood. I was discharged yesterday and now I'm a lot better! But yeah it was a very crazy experience. I was so scared and humiliated. It's all over so I can admit those things, but I very genuinely feared for my life. I couldn't get up, my arms and hands went numb, my stomach was killing me. It was scary... But the employees and strangers at the grocery store made me feel safe. The kindness of strangers is something I am truly thankful for.

Being at the hospital is never fun... I stayed there for 2 nights and it was pretty stressful despite the fact that I spent most of my time sleeping or resting. I got my blood drawn about 5 times in the last few days and I have thin veins so it was a lot of poking around my arms :,V ...

My skin and most noticeably my lips are super pink now...?! I never noticed how pale I looked but wow I feel and look more alive. This actually isn't the first time I've received blood, it happened in 2020 right before covid hit. I also noticed my skin was super pink after lol.

My medical junk isn't quite over yet, I've been referred to a haematology clinic for further investigation and I'm going to see a gynaecologist as well. Hoping things go well...

Okay this is the part where I sound crazy but I do feel super bummed not only because of everything that happened.... But I also missed Akane Taira's (of Danganronpa Another Fame) birthday, August 15.... I've been hyping myself up for it for an entire month because she's one of my favourite characters of all time and this all happens on her birthday..?!!? I still haven't finished her birthday art lol.. But it's fine really, better late than never, no? ;-P

And this is all excluding the things that happened in my personal life lol. Iykyk

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Usually this blog is reserved for things like my interests but this is easily the craziest thing that's happened to me in a while so I think it's worth writing about lol... As usual, thanks for reading if you did! Take care of yourself and if you feel weak, listen to your body and let it rest.
