All Souls

(Wednesday, January 28, 2015)  Waxing gibbous moon in Taurus / Tarot: judgement

I park my vehicle in a parking lot next to a large center. The lot is on the right side of the one-story building. I enter the building, which is full of souls. Busy, packed like Grand Central Station at rush hour.

I’ve come to meet Chris, to help him at a pharmacy in the middle of the center. I push my way past the many people in the room to the pharmacy counter. People in line behind Chris have forced him away from the front of the line. I push them back and struggle to get the attention of the doctor behind the counter. He’s holding a glass bottle of blue elixir that I feel Chris needs very desperately. I negotiate with the pharmacist, grab the medicine and head out of the room. I’ve agreed to meet Chris outside, at my vehicle, which is now parked on the left side of the building.

After many minutes of pushing and shoving my way through the crowds I arrive at my car. But Chris is not there. I have no hope at all of finding him.

Day notes:

Monday when I was at the Ergotron sales meeting, Chris drove himself to the ER at Methodist Hospital. His leg was so swollen he could barely bend his knee. He had pain in his back and was having trouble breathing. They ran an EKG and the doctor diagnosed atrial fibrillation (afib). His INR, a test which measures blood coagulation levels, was twice the number it should have been. Monday night he told me about going to the ER, but he waited till we were out at dinner last night (Tuesday) to tell me his diagnosis. So we need to get him in to a cardiologist as soon as possible. We are both really sad. At dinner Chris said he was glad we just finished our wills and health care directives.
