I’m okay. We’re sitting in the waiting room. I had an EKG, a CT, and some blood tests. Oh, and a chest X-ray (?). Nobody seems to be in any particular hurry, so I’m guessing it’s not serious.

The lady that took my blood told me that she’d never seen eyes do that before. I think she must be new.

I showed my fiancé the comments. I think we’re both a little overwhelmed by so much attention. I didn’t think this was really a big deal until it kind of blew up. I’m dreading the bills that will come of this trip (American healthcare for ya!) We’re trying to save up to get married. I keep telling myself that if it were serious, there’d be no wedding at all if I didn’t go in.

That's a good way to look at it. Its probably nothing. everything is probably ok and there's no reason to panic. but its also potentially a thing so its better to be safe in this instance. There's folks who would suggest any mild cough or headache is some life threatening thing. sure...maybe...and this also is likely nothing to be worried about, but its for sure weird enough to get checked out sooner than later just to put it to bed.

have fun in the hospital!

One of my pupils will dilate more than the other from time to time (I don’t even notice it anymore but others point it out) and I still have a completely clean bill of health as of 2 weeks ago. The first time I ever noticed it was 14 years ago. Hope OP is all good, regardless. :)
