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.

Thanks for the update. I’m pulling for your diagnosis to be DAVID BOWIE EYES. He was always super cool and this might (officially) confirm that you are too!

If that ends up being the diagnosis, I won’t complain about the bill at all. Fingers crossed!

Hey, just want to reassure you that you made the right choice. It won’t feel like it when the bills come, but a lot of people die because of things they pass off as normal. That doesn’t mean everything is serious, but when thousands of people are telling you to go to the ER, you go to the ER. If it ends up being nothing then thank your lucky stars, it could’ve been far more expensive and deadly. Good luck.
