Chrisy, I think things sound very much in your favor. But for that extra assurance, you are in my prayers.
What I do when I get all freaked out waiting for results is this....I tell myself, At the present, I am NED as far as all is concerned. Fact. So I will not spoil this day of worrying about not being NED. I will save that energy for when that day comes and hopefully it will never come or if it does, it will not be for a very long time. In other words, I try to redirect my thought to what is, not what might be. (this is how I try to redirect my anxiety)
