Extremely Disconcerting
Jan. 5th, 2009 09:34 pmSo I decided to take yesterday (Sunday) off from life and stay in bed except for the necessities (like donuts.)
Around 3 pm I was napping when my cell phone rang, pulling me from a dream that combined the Stargate tv show and the nonesense going on in my office. It was a woman whose name I didn't quite catch in my grogginess, informing me that 'he' had passed away. We have a client in the hospital and we expected the news anytime, so I offered condolences and asked to be informed when funeral arrangements are made, and said I would notify the caregivers who had been on the case. I remember making a conscious effort not to sound like I'd just woken up.
Went back to sleep and dreamt some more about work. When I woke up 2 hours later I thought I'd check my cell phone record to see where the call had come from.
There wasn't any call in my log for the last 24 hours other than the ones from my kids and one caregiver whose number is in my cell. Thinking I must be confused, I called one of the caregivers on the case to ask how the client was, and she had just hung up with the family who told her he was hanging in there.
I am very weirded out. Other than not catching the caller's name, there was nothing hazy or dream-like about what I remember.
Postscript: The client passed away this evening.
