I was a bit worried when I left you guys but I'm glad to hear that everything went fine... except for the allergy part. :(
I went to a Kaiser doctor about a month ago to have a mysterious rash that reached from elbow to knees checked out and all the doctor could tell me was "You're allergic to something. What it is, I have no clue but you should probably avoid it if you find out." And I asked "Well, how do I find out?" And he says "There's no way of knowing for sure. You could do an allergy test but that only tests you on 60-100 things that people are commonly allergic to so you still might not know."
I didn't take the allergy test because it sounded so useless and I never found out what caused the rash. Eventually it went away on its own but hopefully you'll have better luck (or a smarter doctor!) than me.
I'm glad everything worked out
