You and me are going to get real, real close

Went to bed last night around 02:00 hours and got uut of bed this morning around 10:30 hours. I got out of bed and got dressed and then ran a cake into the "Barn" for the Fort Halifax benifit dinner that was going on tonight. After I dropped it off, I headed on home. Once at home I read the paper and then ate lunch while I got on the computer. Then around 16:00 hours I headed on back into the shed to help with the dinner. I got there and parked out back by the office. I signed some paperwork for firemen's relief and then went out into the kitchen to see if anyone needed any help with anything. I helped with a few things and then went back to the office and talked with Bill and Sue. We then went back out to the kitchen around 17:00 hours to help woth whatever needed done. At 18:53 hours the pager went off for heart problems in Halifax Township. Me, Sue and Dohn took the call. As we got closer, county kept updating us and told us that it might be a possible code. We got on the scene, Dohn parked on the side walk. I jumped out and grabbed the bag and ran into the house. Sue was right behind me with the AED and Suction. The guy was sitting in a chair in the dinning room. Sue grabbed he table and pulled it back and I wrapped my arms under the guys arm pits and pulled him down onto the floor. The guy did not code, he just had agonial respirations. We had the fire department dispatched for medical assist and traffic control. Medic 6 showed up and got set up in the unit and we got the guy onto the stretcher and then loaded him into the back of the unit. We then took off for Harrisburg Hospital, class 1. On the way down Dave (the medic) and Sue got to know each other. Dave had to get real close to Sue to try and get an IV in, which ended up blowing anyway. His student medic then found a nice vein on my side and Dave came around and told me that him and me were going to get real, real close. He eneded up alomst stradling me on the captian's chiar, I had the guys hand resting on my right shoulder, and Dave was leaning over me trying to get an IV in. He got on in, but nothing came out. This guy was extremely hard to get an IV into him. We got him down to the hospital and got him moved over. I knew when we left, Sue said that she had just come from back there, and things did not look good for the guy. After we got what we needed, we headed on home. We dropped the medics off at Sheetz and then headed back to the shed. Once back at the shed, Gary and Jack were still working on the middle bay door that the pin feel out of it. Gary ended up pushing the door up manually and then we backed the unit in so he could got on top of it and reach the pin better. We restocked the uint and I grabbed some cake and food and then headed on out. I dropped some stuff off at the recycling bins, then mailed something at the post office and then went up to Sheetz and got gas. I then headed on home. Once at home I took a shower and then had a light snack. I am now 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.
