This van is going to be my house for a few days. Because fuck Chicago traffic.

I'm going to try to inflate a 60" air mattress in there.

Sarah is 42 years old. Had a stroke. Unresponsive, couldn't speak, right arm and leg paralyzed, droopy face.

Ambulance took her to Kankakee, they found a clot in her brain and it needed to be removed with surgery so she got to ride in a helicopter to Chicago and I got to put that car tire on the motorcycle to the ultimate test. I did some really stupid insane shit like you see the crotch rockets doing in those videos except I was on a Goldwing with a flexible rear tire.

But the surgery was successful and she's got her arm and leg back. But she can barely talk.

Visiting hours are 8-10 but they let me stay til 1AM. Sarah was giving me the puppy eyes and refusing to let go of my hand when I had to leave.

So tomorrow I'm bringing the van and when they kick me out I'm just going to sleep in the van in the parking garage.
 
Oh and what's fucked up is I was watching this movie and paused it on this scene to go get Sarah because that's the hospital her neurologist is at. It says Chicago North in the movie but in real life it's Rush University Medical Center. I went outside to get her and she was OK for about a minute then had the stroke.

I had no fucking idea I'd be in that building a few hours later.

If they had not used that hospital in the movie there's no telling how long she'd have been out there having a stroke before I found her.

Best to you and Sarah, brother.
 
Planning ahead. Good thing the van's rear windows are tinted. 😎

I’m praying for you and Sarah.
 
Make sure you have proper ventilation, otherwise you may be in that building in a colder section from carbon monoxide poisoning.
Ain't gonna run the engine.
Did Sarah get the Covid vax? Curious if she is suffering one of the side affects. She's in that under 50 age group.
No. And none of the questions they asked me at either hospital was about the vaccine. I was surprised.

It only took me 15 minutes to convert my 7 passenger van into a portable hotel last night. 😎

843 pages of your progress, on making a piece of plywood stick to the barn exterior, is eating up the data from the website......
