The Dream Log

In my dream I was in a hospital bed and the room was really bright. I could feel the presence of someone sitting beside my bed, but I cannot think of who it was. It wasn’t a member of my family or anything. Anyways, I was in the hospital because I had these swollen sacs of tissue that stretched across the back of my knees, following my hamstring muscles. They took a biospy and were running tests on this tissue while I waited with this nameless and faceless person, who I seemed to care for very much. The doctor came back and told me that I have a form of popliteal cancer. He continued to say that I had waited far too long to get this condition checked out and that there was nothing he could do to save my life. He explained that the cancer had started with the back of my knees and worked it’s way up and that I had numerous masses of cancerous cells along my major ateries. I woke up feeling the strangest sort of relief.
