I cannot believe I am sharing this dream with you all, but since I shared it with my office prayer group yesterday, I hope no one is offended by it.

I work in a hospital, but received my treatment from another facility that has an ENT department specializing in Head and Neck Surgery, Head and Neck Oncology, etc. For insurance purposes, my Dr has kindly allowed me to have my testing done where I work and have it covered 100% versus the $300 deductable then 90% at his facility. My last visit with him was in May for him to view my CT scan, chest xray and lab results, and everything came out great.

I have a 5-6 inch scar from my lymph node removal on the right side of my neck. All but two inches of it has virtually disappeared, the noticeable two inches hides in a natural fold in my neck but is pink and visible if I move a certain way. This spot is right where my adam's apple would be if I were a guy. My doctor offered to revise it if it bothered me, but I consider it my badge of courage.

I dreamt the other night that I was told to go to the lab for some more tests. The lab tech took a sterile swab, ran it along the pink part of my scar and placed it in a test tube. When the results were complete, they were posted on the lab door with everyone else's test results - kind of like posting if you made cheerleading on the gym door or test results in college on the professor's office door. By my name it said "Make an appt with Dr. G IMMEDIATELY." I frantically called his office and was told to come in. When I got there, he was livid... very angry with me and yelled "Are you going to trust me, your doctor, or the hospital where you got your testing done?" Of course, I said I trust him completely, and what was my test result? He said the lab was recommending I have radiation therapy because I now had cancer of the penis on my neck!

I have absolutely no idea where this came from other than my college daughter just completed her finals, and high school daughter is taking hers now.

Anyone else having weird dreams? shocked

Sincerely,
Lisa :rolleyes:
