I just spent the evening in the hospital. 
Note: Never EVER get a CAT scan if you are asthmatic and claustrophobic. Oh. My. God. I haven't had a reaction like that in years.
I also have two armfuls of lovely bruises. Because my veins are stubborn, it took three top nurses eighteen needle-pokes to get one to stay in my vein to hold an IV for the CAT scan dye.
I'm going to bed.
Oh...heh... I'm fine, by the way.
They were convinced it was a blood clot in my lung since the bloodwork showed that, but X-rays, an EKG, and the CAT scan proved I have a healthy heart and lungs free of blood clots or whatnot. Soooo... they figure it's just some weird muscle spasm near my lung that will go away as I lose weight.

glad everything turned out fine..hey, since you just got a cat scan, someone told me recently that if you have a tatoo with red ink that you cant get a cat scan....... maybe they were talking about MRI's.....just wondering cuz I was going to have red ink in a tatoo I have planned but I would opt out if this were the case...

Glad everything's ok, I hate hospitals as well. Guess that's one of the reasons I had for getting into my line of work. Take care of yourself...
