One Hell of a Welcome Back
I went to bed last night around 02:10 hours as I was falling alseep at the computer. I was rocked out of bed at 07:13 hours when the pager went off for an accident with injuries in Halifax Township. I got out of bed and got dressed and then got in my car and headed into the "Barn". I got there and Carol ahd 13-1 already pulled out. I parked me car and got in and off we went. We got there and it ended up being a roll over. We got the lady backboarded and into the back of the ambulance while Sue and Alf worked on getting the kid backboarded and into the unit. Medic 6 then showed up and Tim and Tommy jumped on board. Tim decided to fly both of them out and we headed to Station 29 for the LZ. We got there and Life Lion said that they could not land there due to the fog. So we decided to start heading towards Dauphin for the LZ, but then the Life Lion crew said they saw a clearing about 2 miles east of the accident scene. So we headed up towards Ridge Road and Meadow Lane. We got there and Life Lion circled over head trying to find a good spot to land. They finally landed and we transferred both patient's over to them. We then ran Tim and Tommy back to there rig at station 29. We then headed back to the shed. We had just pulled in when the pager went off for a sick person in Jackson Township. I told Carol not to go responding as I had to use the bathroom. She then left me drive out to the scene. We went responding and found out that this was our frequent flyer and we had county dispatch the fire company for lifting assistance. We got there and then I got on the fire company private and talked to Bubba and asked him how many he had coming to the scene. He asked me if I thought we needed more then 4 people and I said probally so he said about hitting for Engine 29-1, which I said was fine. Sue came on Engine 29-1 to help with lifting. After everyone got there we got her moved and then loaded into the back of the ambulance. I then drove down to Harrisburg Hospital. While we were heading down to the hospital, the tones went off for breathing problems in Halifax Borough. Sue and Kim took that call and they went down to Osteo. After we got what we needed down there, we headed on back. I stopped at Shell and got fuel and then headed back to the shed. Once there I restocked and then logged my times in. Sue and Kim got back and then we talked for a little bit and then we all left. I headed on home as I was now off duty. I got home and ate lunch and read the paper while I watched All My Children on TV. I then got changed into street clothes and then headed into town to drop off two perscriptions at Rite Aid. I dropped the perscriptions off and then ran up to Sheetz and got gas. I then ran back to the shed and gave Bill his camera and taffy and then did my two tripsheets from the accident. I then headed back up to Rite Aid to pick up my medication. Well I ran into a problem with my insurance. Basically the guy said my insurance was not accepting it, so if I wanted the medications, it would cost me $400.00 for both. I almost died when he said that. I told him to let me talk to my insruance tomorrow and I would get back with him. I then ran over to Giant and picked up 4 bags of chips, a loaf of bread and a gallon of diet iced tea. I then called Bill to bitch at him and as I was getting in the car, my fire pager went off for a medical assist in Jackson Township. I put my blue light on and started making my way out to the fire house. I called Bubba when I heard the Engine go responding and told him that I would grab the Utility. I pulled in and the Engine was just pulling out. I parked and Kenny was walking back up to the house. When he saw me he asked me about the Utility. I told him that I was taking it and to move the tires from in front of the Utility so I could pull it out. I then went inside and got my bunker pants on and grabbed my coat and helmet and got in the Utility. As I got in I felt the back button of my pants that hold the suspenders down on the right side, pop off. I did not have time to worry about it as Kenny got in. I started it up and went responding with 2. We got there a few minutes after the Engine. Here Life Team had brought the lady back from the hospital and needed help moving her from the stretcher to her bed. We got her moved over and then we headed back to the station. Once back at the station, Bubba gave me a new button to put on my pants and then him, me, LeeAnn, and Helen sat around and talked. We all then left and headed on home. Once at home I ate dinner and then took a shower. 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.
