Erin, good luck with the tests. It would be nice to have something fixable, although I hope it's not too serious.

I grew up with neighborhood friends...one Greek and the other Lebanese. Their food was much alike and I enjoyed them both, except for the Baklava(Greek) and Baklayawa(Lebanese)...TOOO DANG SWEET...it'll curl your teeth..

The Lebanese also ate raw lamb(Kibbe) but I preferred mine cooked TYVM. and stuffed with Hushwai(sp) Loved the Lebanese unleaven bread.

The Greek girlfriend became Miss Greek America and the Lebanese is still my best friend today. Both were born Americans of Greek/Lebanese born Parents.
