A San Diego woman needed surgery after dreaming about swallowing her engagement ring and waking up to discover that she had actually eaten it.
Jenna Evansdreamed on Tuesdaythat she and her fiancé,Bobby, were on a high-speed train facing off with “bad guys." During the imaginary fight, Bobby told her she had to swallow her engagement ring in order to protect it.
When she woke up, however, she saw that the ring was gone and immediately knew what had happened.
"When I woke up and it was not on my hand, I knew exactly where it was," Evans said. "It was in my stomach."
An X-ray confirmed her fears. Then things took a turn for the worse when the ring began causing her pain.
So, rather than let the ring pass through her organs naturally, the doctor suggested that the safest way to remove Evans' engagement ring was an upper endoscopy.
The procedure went smoothly and doctors were able to retrieve the ring from her intestines.
"I was really happy because I don't know if I can look at it and appreciate it in the same way, if I had to search for it," Evans said.
Now, she sleeps with her rings off.
Her wedding is scheduled for next May.
