Rex Alive. Yes, wait -- No. Wait -- yes. Or No

Director of Adams county hospital, young slender dark complected man in a wheelchair. Face not clearly seen; behind the light.

Nurse, young petite, long long straight brown hair. Pulled back in ponytail with multiple ties


ER not a room or cubicle, more like just end of hallway. (I have dreamed this setting for Georgetown ER on other occasions; more than once)

Other nurse, same general description as Michelle, but not her.

Walking the streets of Bethel looking for Lisa. Can't remember what street she lives on.  (Possibly because she lives in Mt Orab, as I do?) Somewhere off Brown Street, named Linville or something, but I cant find the street, cant remember where it is, and it isnt there anywhere.
Lisa's husband is a man named Dan, flannel shirt and baseball cap. He is in basement of their apartment building and finds her for me, sends me to their place but turns out she isnt there and he has to call her, but she does hurry home because i am there and i need her. I am crying and hysterical. I need her to take me to hospital to find Rex. I tell her about how it has been:


It seems that Rex didn't really die. He was just shipped to Adams county hospital and kept there (somehow) until he could get better. He escaped and came home, and everything was fine for a really really long time, except we couldn't tell social security he wasn't dead or they would stop my benefits (Benefits I am not yet old enough for, because widows are never under 60 years of age unless they have young children)

Everything is fine.

And then it isnt. Rex gets sick again/more/worse/differently. And he has to go back to hospital, which says he doesn't exist because he is dead and died downtown.
Rex and I had detailed conversation about how he had been living while he wasn't dead but I thought he was. That's how I know Christ hospital pulled a switcheroo and i spent some time wondering who was cremated and buried in his place.

At some point in this conversation, I remembered that I have dreamed this before, and it must be another of those dreams.

But I am looking for Rex in hospital -- Adams county. Cant find him, and see him at end of hall er and then two nurses hustle me with laundry cart/cleaning trolley and I am in another area. Wandering all over hospital trying to find my way back to ER, but now the ER has disappeared, even though I'm going round and round the squares that is the hospital.

Stop in front lobby and ask for Michelle. since she is an er nurse, she should know where it is, right? They tell me to take a seat and wait, and the long haired nurse with the towels is back and handing me stuff and I have to get away from her.

She takes me to get something to eat.


Rex and I are in the directors office. We are getting everything -- including social security -- worked out with his reluctant help. It's really true this time, that Rex never died.

AND THEN I  WOKE UP.
