I bailed on the CT scan

I was supposed to have a CT scan of my lungs because of my breathing problems, but I never made the appointment. I'm not scared they'll find something. I'm scared of the radiation and little Val. Yes, I drink caffeine daily and eat refined sugar and once I ate a very rare steak, but other than that I've been pretty good to Val and this didn't seem like the best idea.

At Thursday's appointment, my doctor wasn't very concerned and understood why I oped out. Plus, I've been breathing a little easier lately--maybe I'm getting used to it, or maybe the worst of smog season is over.
