Waking Dream: Room 17 Double Occupancy

(Wednesday, July 22, 2015)

I drew the Lovers card, reversed, in my morning meditation on Wednesday and felt it had to do with Chris.

When I got home from work, Chris ran over to Davanni’s to get a calzone for himself. I was busy on my computer, finishing up a freelance design job for my friend Suchi, when I looked out the front door. Lola was frozen in a posture I have never seen before. She seemed fearful yet did not run away, which is her usual M.O., but instead focused her gaze intently on the front stairs.

I opened the door and walked outside. Lola didn’t move or look in my direction. I took a few steps and saw Chris lying on the stone stairs, his head covered in blood. I called 911. When the ambulance arrived, they took him to Methodist for a CT scan and some stitches.

I followed in my car. When I got to the hospital, they directed me to room 17, which is the exact room I was in on Wednesday, July 8. On Tuesday, July 7, I had another fainting spell with abdominal pain. My doctor thought I was experiencing cardiac arrest, so I had multiple tests the next day at Methodist, the outcome of which was a clean bill of health. Chris’ CT scan was normal as well.
