Kind of Busy 24 Hour Shift
I went to bed Thursday night around 02:30 hours and got up at 07:10 hours when my alarm went off. I got out of bed and got dressed and then got my suitcase out, grabbed my Essential's Book and put them in my car. I then grabbed my lunch and my Gatorade bottles and then left the house around 07:25 hours and headed to Lykens for work. When I got there and went inside, I saw that 6-8 was gone, so that told me that they were out on a call. I clocked in and then did a rig check on 6-5 as it was the second due unit. I noticed that Tony had not showed up by 08:00 hours, so I called down to Eville to let Tindel know that Tony was not in yet. He told me that he knew, and that Tony would be in by 08:30 hours, which he was. When he got in he went over the spare ALS gear and got that on 6-5 and then we left and headed on down to Special Place for breakfast and to met the Eville crew. We got there and since I had orange juice and something for breakfast when I got in at Lykens, I just ordered a glass of orange juice, a side of toast and a side of bacon. We were almost done with breakfast, when the tones went off for chest pains in Washington Township. The Eville crew took that call and me and Tony finished breakfast. We then stopped at the Eville station to drop off Steve's breakfast and then we shot the shit with Steve and Bowser and John who had stopped to get supplied before heading back up to Lykens. We then left and headed back up to Lykens and got 6-5 back in and then they got back with 6-8. Tony went over the ALS gear and I did a rig check on 6-8. John then left and Bowser sat down and started his chart when the tones went off for breathing problems in Elizabethville Borough. Kathy took the squad and went to the scene as a QRS and we went responding from Lykens. We got down there and got the guy loaded up and took him down to Harrisburg Hospital. After we got what we needed, we headed on back. We stopped at Eville for Tony to pick up some supplies to restock and Mike Wertz was there talking to Matt and Kathy. He wanted to talk to Tony before we headed back up to Lykens and went out in to the bay and talked to him for about 1 hour. We then left and headed back up to Lykens. Once back up there, I ate lunch and then sat down to do some review from my Essentials book. Tony laid down on the couch and slept for about 3 hours until the tones went off for a BLS call in Washington Township, which the BLS crew from Eville handled. We then ran over to Dairy Queen and got dinner and then stopped at Tower Sales so Tony could pick up some chips and then went back to the station and ate dinner. We had just finished when the tones went off for a Hemorrhage in Lykens Borough. We went responding and it ended up being downgraded to BLS and we got the lady loaded up and took her down to Hershey. After we got what we needed, we headed on back. Once we got back, I did my chart and then went to bed at 01:00 hours. I woke up at 07:30 hours and got my stuff put away and took my suitcase, Essentials book, and lunch box out to my car. Don Deppen and Jim were the oncoming crew. When Don came in, I gave him my report on the rig and then I clocked out and left and headed on down to Eville to put my times in. Once down there I put my times in and then shot the shit for a little bit and then left and headed on home. Once at home I changed into my PJ's and went back to bed to get some more sleep. I then woke up this afternoon at 13:30 hours and took a shower. I then ate lunch and read the paper. I then sat down to watch the Penn State game and then also eat dinner while I watched the game. We played very well during the first half, and then we blew it during the second hald, eventually losing 35-31 to Michigan State. 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.
