Code in the Morning
I went to bed Monday night around 02:00 hours and woke up Tuesday morning around 12:45 hours. I got out of bed and ate lunch and read the paper. I then got on the PS2 and played some Leisure Suit Larry. I then got off and ate dinner while I did a few things on the computer. I then left around 19:19 hours and headed up to Eville to go to work. I got up there and parked and then went inside and clocked in. I then did a quick rig check on 6-8 and then went over the supplies. I then put in an order and checked a few things online. Enders and Bruce then clocked out and left. I then went out and sat down on the couch and watched Dirty Jobs on Discovery Channel. Tim then finished his charts around 22:00 hours and he came out into the day room and I popped in Disc 3 of Season 2 of Emergency and we watched two episode. We then ran up to Koppy's so he could get something to eat and I also grabbed some popcorn chicken to munch on. We then headed back and watched another episode until 01:00 hours. Tim then went back in to put some finishing touches on his charts and I turned the Discovery Channel back on and watched TV until 02:40 hours and then went to sleep on the couch. I woke up around 06:35 hours when the tones went off for an unconscious person in Lykens Borough. 6-5 in Lykens took that call. I reset the pager and laid back down on the couch when I heard Tim come out. I sat up and the tones went off again for an unknown problem in Halifax Township. I got the stuff on my belt and got my boots on and then got in 6-8 and off we went. County told us that it was an elderly male slumped over the steering wheel in a pick-up truck and the truck was still running. We had not even made it to the square when county called us back and told us that the bystanders thought that he was starting to turn blue. We were starting to climb the mountain when county called us back and told us that the bystanders had broken out the window and were starting CPR. At this point I picked up the pace. I blew through Fisherville and I saw Bubba walking down the walkway out back to his house as we went flying by. We got there and I pulled in and when I got out I could smell the brakes. Tim jumped in the back to grab gloves and I had him toss me a pair of XL. He then tossed me the BLS bag and the portable suction unit. I then ran up the hill and Kim was bagging and a bystander was doing CPR. Dohn and Bisking were also there. Dohn said they needed another O2 tank and I got ours out of the bag. I then tookj over CPR and 13-2 got there. We got the guy on a backboard and then got him loaded into the back of 13-2 and then me and Kim switched off and on with compressions. We ended up working him the whole way down to Harrisburg Hospital and they called it when we got there. I rode down with Tim as an extra set of hands to switch off with Kim. After we got what we needed down there, we headed on back. We stopped at Dunkin Doughnuts and I got a bottle of apple juice and two doughnuts and then we headed back. I had told Scott to take 6-8 back to the "Barn". and once we were there, we moved the gear back over and then headed back to Eville. We got there and I helped Tim restock and then I put in another order of supplies and also called in an order of Electrodes. I then clocked out and headed on home. Once at home I changed into my pj's and went back to bed to get some more sleep. I woke up this afternoon around 14:30 hours. I got out of bed and changed into street clothes. I then read the paper and then got on the computer to do a few things. I then ate dinner and left around 17:30 hours and headed in up to Eville for the staff meeting tonight. I got up there and clocked in and then we had the staff meeting. After it was over, I clocked out and headed down to the fire hall for bingo tonight. I got there and called the second half then. After bingo was over I headed on home. Once at home I took a shower and am soon going to bed as I am tired.
