No I didn't tell her.
I sent him a text saying she's awake. He said he was writing Zach's eulogy and he'll let me know when he was done.
I stopped by his house on the way up here today, kind of a 40 mile detour. Brought him a bunch of tomatoes.

OK I asked the nurse and she said it's the tool to unlock the dobhoff feeding tube.
It's the tube going up Sarah nose that they used to inject medicine into her stomach when she was too unresponsive to swallow pills yesterday.
I still don't know what exactly they do with it though.
I can use it to play Nothing Else Matters though.

Use it to pop the green clip on the tube. Seems to latch much like those 3m blue wire splice connector

I watched them put that thing in. They usually sedate the patient but Sarah's BP was too low. But she was asleep.
It was uncomfortable to watch.
But that thing does look like a tap splice connector.
i got this line from you all discombobulated....my bad.
i just read it wrong and thought "she" was writing the eulogy
you think that was uncomfortable, wait till you get something like this....
inserted into yer dick, and i can assure you, it's MORE uncomfortable to HAVE THAT DONE......
don't ask me how i know.

So I'm sitting here playing I heart radio on my phone while I'm helping Sarah make bead necklaces.
2112 by Rush was playing.
A cute little 22 year old CNA walked in to stuff shit in the linen closet and she said the song sounds familiar and asked who it was.
I told her it's a Canadian band called Rush.
She said she's never heard of them.
I said "you work in a hospital that's named after them and you've never heard of them? Kids these days"
She made a little nervous laugh and left.
Two minutes later I heard her right outside the door asking the nurse if this hospital was named after a Canadian rock band
Maybe I shouldn't be laughing. For all I know, it actually is.

That is some good progress, it takes some dexterity to make bead necklaces.

Yeah 2 weeks ago @Duck was hopeless at making beads.

I was actually doing it. All she can do is hold the yarn in her left hand and stare at it.
I saw it as speech therapy because she was telling me what to do.
We did some speech therapy on the drive up here Friday afternoon. I'd see a random word on a truck or a billboard and say it out loud and she would say the word. She got about 90% of them right.

They moved her out of the ICU and into a regular room. A smaller room.
No more view of the skyscrapers. But I can look out the window and see the van.
And I put a yellow bag of tater chips in the window to identify the room from the parking garage.
Those pedestrian bridges are at the 4th floor. So I counted up from there. There are only 8 floors in that part of the complex. But Sarah is on the 9th floor.
Then in the elevator I noticed this:
There is no 6th floor.
Someone failed basic kindergarten math.

Counting from the 4th floor, there are only 8.
There's no service to the lower 3 floors though.
A directory of this hospital complex would be the size of a billboard, one for each floor. It's like 7 buildings tied together and they're building another one across Ashland Avenue with a walkway bridge too. I think someone told me that new building is going to be dorm rooms for the students because they're currently like 2 or 3 blocks east and the city is getting dangerous for smoking hot college chicks to be walking around on the sidewalks at night.

Maybe tomorrow I'll download a stopwatch app and measure the movement time between two sequentially numbered floors, then repeat it for the transition time between 5 & 7 and see if it takes longer.
I'll get to the bottom of this intriguing mystery somehow.
But first I gotta download a speedometer app before they kick me out for the night. Dash and interior lights don't work in the van, because it's a Chrysler product.
DigiHUD is a good app. Just put it on mirror image mode and toss it up on the dash and look at it's reflection on the inside of the windshield.

They failed kindergarten geometry too. The building named "Triangle" is actually a rectangle.
And geography too. Westgate is north of the complex.
On the way out the door I noticed that hospital security guards are actually armed with what appears to be 357 magnum revolvers.
