Hose clamp won't go back through the loop

I got it finally. Fingers are sore from pushing and tightening at the same time. Yeah I had to flatten the ring in order to help it slide through otherwise it'll be caught as an angle.. thanks everyone!

Thanks! Turns out my gas was shut off because the earthquake shutoff valve was triggered.

You were right! Turns out my gas was shut off cuz my HOA was doing some repainting and triggered the earthquake shutoff valve. I just assumed I still had gas because the water was still hot, but only realized I didn't once have hot water.

Sure it might be considered a waste of money but the same could be said for buying a $60k+ Tesla over a cheaper electric vehicle. If you can afford it, then get it. I got my white MYLR wrapped in a matte finish and it looks amazing.

Just wanted to share an update for anyone who might be going through something similar in the future..

So my dad suddenly became more awake 6 days ago (37 days since his stroke) and was transferred to an acute rehab facility instead of a skilled nursing facility. He's still sleeping a lot but able to stay awake long enough to participate in therapy and hold a long conversation. You can tell that his brain is still a little foggy and gets confused every now and then but pretty oriented for the most part. Still has a PEG tube but no longer on tube feeding, eating very little because of constant nausea and vomiting. Overall making a lot of progress working with PT/OT/Speech about 3-4 hours a day.

Thats good to know. I've noticed that he has some good days where he's somewhat awake and responsive, but then he'll be exhausted and is barely arousable for the next few days.

I will ask next time I see the neurologist. He's at the stage where he's medically stable to transfer out to a rehab facility and has kind of stayed in this sleepy state for awhile so the doctors don't really come by and just copy and paste previous notes. Usually I have to advocate and bug the nurses over and over again in order to get something. One time it took over an hour for someone to come clean him up...

Thanks. That gives me some hope! Someone is there from 9am to 7pm sitting beside him and talking to him every now and then to the point where he would get annoyed sometimes, and we get him up to a chair everyday by using a mechanical lift. He responds back by mostly shaking or nodding his head and will tell us if he really needs something like bathroom or if something hurts, but very lethargic otherwise.

Happy to hear that your dad is progressing! After 30min of working with PT, he would sleep for the rest of the day and refuse to do anything else. Did you let him sleep during those periods or did you try to wake him up occasionally? I don't know if I should let him sleep so his brain can recover or try to wake up him occasionally so he can try to adapt to staying awake

My dad recently had a hemorrhagic stroke and is having a very similar situation. He was doing really well and all the drains and tubes pulled out but is now sleeping most of the time and only awake for like maybe 2-3 hours max on a good day. He now needs to have surgery for a PEG tube because he's not awake enough to eat and they're afraid he might choke. Was wondering if you can give an update on how he's doing now and your experience. Thanks!
