I have been having the weirdest dreams lately. First of all, me preface this by saying that on Thursday morning, DH was rushed to the cardiac unit here in Sacramento. I knew NOTHING about his emergency because I had been up all night monitoring him. Due to the stress he's been under, from this unwanted posting in this subcontracting position with a VERY well known government agency, in addition to the death of his mother from cancer 2 years TO THE DAY AND HOUR of my mother's memorial after her horrible death at a WELL KNOWN HOTEL, his father's recurrence of prostate cancer and his bipolar condition, barely controlled with meds, DH has been has been experiencing night terrors, ( and I mean HORRIBLE, VIOLENT NIGHT TERRORS!), sleepeating and sleepwalking. His sleepwalking has evolved into attempts to walk out of the front door without a stitch on, in perfect pantomime, as if he was carrying his bag and computer on the way to work. he actually got through the front door TWICE before I got the chance to wake him by clapping loudly.
SO.... I was asleep after yet another night of watching my Bohemian Baby when, according to the folks at his worksite, he started getting dizzy, vomitting, blanching, unable to catch his breath OR WALK, shaking and grabbing his chest and arm, crying and sweatingaround 8:30 that morning. Apparently, there were calls OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN. I heard N-O-T-H-I-N-G!!! I woke up at 2:30 pm, walked into the greatroom, picked up the phone to check meassages and noted the ABUNDANCE of calls from a well known hospital in this area. Anyway, we were off to the races after that. They wanted to keep him in hospital overnight but he started weeping and told doctor that he just couldn't stay overnight because it's only been 4 months since his mother passed away after he'd spent the last 4 days of her life with her in hospice.
Anyway, he underwent two dosages of nitroglycerin, a stress test, a upper head and chest CAT scan and was released, AMA late thursday evening. The weird this is that in the 2 days before this happened, I had two dreams involving both my mom and mil. The first night, Tuesday, I had a dream that we were on a cruise ship and we were in a stateroom, with my MIl sitting to my left and DH across from room from me. My mom was there as well, though for some reason, I can't remember exactly where she was in the room. I was sitting on a BRIGHT FUSCHIA sofa with MIL and FIL, although he was the the left of her and she was to the left of me.
My FIL, for some reason, got up and left the room to get a pair of what turned out to be an rather old and worn pair of brown leather wingtips. When he left the stateroom, my MIL reached into her purse, pulled out what looked like a prescription sheet with the word, Klebsiella and told me that I had to warn my FIL. I told DH that I knew that this was a particularly nasty bacteria in older folks and in light of my FIL prostate cancer recurrence, it could be a problem. DH called him and told him to watch out for any problem with inflammation.
Wednesday night, I dreamt of them again but this time, my mom and MIL were leading a procession of people. Now, this is where it gets REALLY weird. The actor BRUCE CAMPBELL was in the lead and had what looked like a "control board" of some type that was a combination of a radio with some strange sort of holographic projection in an eery green colouring. He was manipulating the knobs on the this machine and was listening to it via OLD FASHIONED ear phones, circa the types you see in radio officers in those old WWII movies. I could hear a song that actually said,"don't worry about the inside, it's the skin that's dangerous." This was repeating over and over again to a musical tune that followed back into the waking world. I actually hummed this for about 3 hours after waking. After that time, I forgot the melody, which is VERY unusual for me as I was born with the ability to memorise almost any song and reproduce it on a piano from age 3 when I did started that spontaneously. I've been trying to recall it since then and I can't. DH father has had melanotic lesions removed from him back and arms. DH has alot of nevi I'm worried about, especially considering his familial history. What do these dreams mean in light of what has happened? Is there anything else I need to worry about with him, considering what happened Thursday? The one thing he's decided is that he's going to take an extended time off on FMLA and/or disability and we will take each day as it comes.
I've got him going to a psychiatrist and a therapist to help deal with his sleeping disorders and depression and grief over his mother and MIL deaths. I'll be scheduling him for an appointment first thing next week for a follow up appointment with an internist and a healing diet. Any input from any of the souls are welcome. Thanks fellas and I have to tell you I do't know what I would do without you guys. I've gotten about 3 hours sleep since thursday afternoon.
