We are here to share a story that many of us can relate to or may have experienced – the moment when Erin had a Mini Stroke.
Introduction
Hey y’all, we’re so thrilled to have you join us for another exciting update on our off-grid journey! Today, we want to share a pivotal moment with you that shook us to the core – Erin had a mini-stroke after installing the ridge beam on our mountain home. It was a scary experience, but it’s all a part of the adventure of building our debt-free oasis in the West Virginia mountains.
The Incident: A Scary Wake-Up Call
So, picture this – we were hustling and bustling, working on getting the ridge beam in place when suddenly Erin felt a sharp pain in her head. We initially brushed it off as fatigue, but thank goodness our instincts kicked in. Erin’s face drooped, and her speech slurred – classic signs of a mini-stroke. We immediately halted our work, dialed 911, and got her the medical attention she needed.
