4 More Days to Go!!!!

Went to bed last night around 02:30 hours and got up this morning around 11:00 hours when my father called to ask me a question. I got out of bed and got dressed and read the paper. I then ate lunch while I watched TV. My mother then came home around 15:30 hours and I helped her bring some stuff in from the car. I then came in and watched some more TV. Around 16:45 hours the pager went off for a traumatic injury in Halifax Township. So I ran back to my room and put my boots on and then got in my car and headed for the "Barn". I got there and pulled in behind Bill and Bill unlocked the door and we ran in and got 13-1 ready. Carol then pulled up and I put us responding. Kim and Deb went to the scene and Kim told us that the driveway was icy and that we would probally need to put the chains on. We got about halfway up the driveway and the back end slid on us and we lost traction and started to slide backwards. So I got out to try and help Carol back the unit down the driveway. I then saw Kim walking down the driveway towards the ambulance and then I saw him slip and fall on the ice. So I made my way to the front of the unit and yelled to him and asked him if he was ok. Kim said that he was ok. So he got in the unit and backed it down the driveway and then he got in Medic 6's squad and went up with the medic and we turned the unit around. We then stopped by the driveway and next thing we knew the Medic said that he wanted a backboard and a c-collar ready. Then he asked for Life Lion to be flown and land at Station 29. So we got the things ready and they brought him down. When we got him on the stretcher, was when we noticed that it was a state trooper that we all know. So we got him loaded into the unit and then I got in the squad and took it up the road and turned around and came back down and followed the unit out to Station 29 and I got to drive it with the lights on!! We got to Station 29 and the fire crew was already there and had the landing zone set out. About 4 minutes later Life Lion landed on the ground and the flight medics got in the unit. We then got him loaded onto Life Lions stretcher and then the fire department carried him over to the chopper and put him in. After they took off, we headed back to the shed to clean the back of the unit up. I then mopped the back of the unit out and then I headed on up to Giant and picked up a gallon of iced tea and then headed on home. I just finished eating dinner and 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.
