My Day With Amanda

Went to bed last night around 03:00 hours and got up around 08:00 hours. I got out of bed and got dressed. I then ate breakfast and read the paper. I then left the house around 09:30 hours and headed into the "Barn". I got in there and then waited on Scott. Once he got there, we got in 13-1 and then headed up to Sheel to grab something to drink and then headed back up to the high school football field. Once up ther we parked and then me and Scott headed over towards the grand stands and sat over there for a little bit and then we went over to the conscesion stand and got something to eat. While we were standing over there, I would say it was around 11:40 hours, the pager went off for problem urinating in Millersburg Borough at the Frederick Health Center. Me and Scott made out way over to the unit and then went around to the front parking lot to pick Amanda up. Once Amanda showed up we went responding. We got up there and got the guy loaded up and then headed on down to Harrisburg Hospital. After we got what we needed down there, we headed on back. We stopped at Taco Bell on Front Street so Amanda could get something to eat for lunch and then we headed on back up. We dropped Amanda off at her car and then headed back to the shed. Once there, Bill was there, along with Keith and Melissa. So I signed my time in and then the four of us sat there and talked. Then around 15:30 hours the pager went off for an accident with injuries in Reed Township, Perry County. I went out front and started 13-1 up and then waited for everyone else to show up. Amanda showed up first, and then Amy dropped Scott off and they both got in and off we went. We got as far as the Clarks Ferry Bridge, when we were placed in service. So we turned around and headed back. We stopped at Scott's Alpca farm so Amanda could see his new Alpca, and I got to see the kitties that were there. After we were done there, Scott had Amanda drive his truck back to the shed. Once back there, Amanda did her tripsheet and I stayed and talked some more. I then left around 17:30 hours and headed up to Sheetz and got gas and then went to Giant to pick up a jar of peanut butter for my mother. I had just picked the jar up when the pager went off for breathing problems in Jackson Township. I went over and paid for the jar and then got to my car and headed for the shed. I got there and parked my car and I went over and unplugged the unit and Scott pulled up, followed by Amanda. We all got in 13-1 and off we went. While we were heading out to that call, the pager went off again for a sick person in Jackson Township. Dohn and Carol ended up taking that one. Once we got to the scene, we got the lady loaded, Medic 6 released the Pt. to BLS and we took the lady down to Harrisburg Hospital. When we got down there, Steph was working in registration. We waited a good 30 minutes for a bed. After we got what we needed, we headed on back. That was when we found out that Medic 6 was taking a call for us in Halifax Township on Camp Hebron Road. Once we got back, I signed my time in and then Amanda did her tripsheet. Bill then called and said about having a small party in the meeting room tonight, and I told him that I would check with the parents to make sure they had nothing planned tonight. So I ran the peanut butter home and talked to my mother, who said that they had nothing planned for tonight. So I then headed on back in. When I got there, Dohn and Carol were just getting back. I went into the office and then went over to the meeting room around 21:00 hours. Bill was already there, along with Keith and Melissa and Scott. Bill had two pizzas, a couple bags of chips, plus I brought a bag of pretzels, and Bill had a bottle of Root Beer. I had 3 slices of pizza and then Amanda ran home to get her cell phone charger and then stopped at Giant and picked up an ice cream cake for Bill and brought it back. While we were down at Harrisburg Hospital, we picked up a set of spider straps and once back at the shed, figured out they were the fire departments, so Scott called Alf and let him know, and he stopped by to pick them up. Alf then came back and talked with us while we played Bullshit. He then went home to check on the kids and his wife and then he came back out. We got him playing bullshit and we all had a good time. Most of us left around 00:30 hours and headed on home. Once at home I had a popsicle, and around 01:25 hours the pager went off for a call in Millersburg, but 20 got out and we were canceled. I will be going to bed soon.
