After your dealings with Al & fungus, it's normal to panic, I do it myself whenever I see anything out of the ordinary. Just glad it wasn't anything but old scales. And he is such a cutie pie, looking forward to more pictures.
I hope you feel better soon, there's alot of flu going around. Resting, fluids, resting is what you need to do. It's probably why you didn't sleep well, either. So feel better, soon, k?
