Shot by the Flu
Around 01:45 hours the pager went off for breathing problems in Upper Paxton Township at SLV. I was still up and started getting dressed and my father got up and started getting dresses. I took my time because when they dispatched it, county said Company 20 or Company 13. So I knew that 20 would be getting out shortly. I was right, 20 got out and they placed us in serivce. So I got undressed and finished up on the computer and went to bed around 02:20 hours. I was rocked out of bed around 08:35 hours for an accident with injuries and entrapment in Halifax Township. I got out of bed and got dressed and then got in my car and took off for the "Barn". I got in there and got inside and opened the bay door up and started the unit up and Carol pulled in. I put us responding. Scott went to the scene and then Dohn showed up. It was supposed to be a head on collison, but it was actually a rear end collison. We got the guy loaded up and Medic 6 went along down with me in the back and we took the guy down to Hershey Hospital. After we got what we needed down there, we headed on back. We stopped at Shell and got disiel and then went back to the shed and dropped the medic off at his squad. I then logged my time and then pulled the times up for the call. After that I headed on home. I got home and I read the paper and ate lunch while I watched my TV show. At 12:05 hours the pager went off for seizures in Halifax Township. I got in my car and headed to Carol's house. I got there ans she put us responding and we picked up Bill at the shed. Once we got to the scene, we loaded the guy up and took him down to Harrisburg Hospital. After we got what we needed, we headed on home. We dropped Bill off at the shed and Carol took me out to her house so I could pick my car up. After I got my car, I headed back into the shed to do my paperwork from the accident this morning. Once I was done with the paperwork, I pulled 13-2 out so Bill could start setting tables up. I then left and headed on down to Costco's to get my flu shot. I got down there around 15:45 hours and met my mother at the store. We went back to the pharmacy and when we turned the corner, boy was the line ever long, and I mean long. We picked forms to fill out and started walking back to the end of the line. About half was back the line I saw my father standing in line. He had saved both of us a spot in line. So we got in line and then began the wait. After 30 minutes of standing in line, they started counting people in line. After they did it the first time, about 20 minutes later they came back and counted again. We had about 20 people in line behind us. When they got to the end of those 20 people, they said that was it. They only had enough for those in front of the cut off point. So we were lucky. We ended up waiting in line for 2-1/2 hours. I took about a minutes for me to get my shot and it did not hurt as bas as I thought it would. So after we all got our shots, I headed on home, while they did a little shopping in the store. I stopped at the shed and logged my time in for the rest of the day and talked to Bill for a little bit. I then headed on home and finished reading the paper. I then ate dinner and watched a little tv. I am getting ready to hit the old email and surf the net. I will be on late tonight so if any sexy ladies want to talk to me, just give me a buzz.
