Oh I do feel for you! But at least you have peace of mind and I'm so happy your cat has a clean bill of health. My babies have an annual visit very soon and I am fretting about it. While they were very good last eyar, that was when I first got them and they hadn't had a chance to settle in to their new home. But now that it's been a year and they've been quite sheltered, I'm afraid they might freak out at the vet. But it's for their own good and it's worth one day of uncomfortableness for the kitties to make sure they are healthy.
