Emergency Junkies

I went to bed Tuesday night around 02:00 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 and took it out to the kitchen. I then got my lunch and Gatorade bottles together. I then got Wendy's subs together and then put everything in my car and headed up to Lykens to go to work. I stopped at the Eville station and put Wendy's subs in the fridge and then got back in my car and headed up to Lykens. I stopped at the Tower Mini Mart and got a bag of chips for lunch and then headed over to the station. I got there and parked and went inside and Tim was already there and Tindell was just waking up and Carl was out in the bay talking on his cell phone. I put my stuff in the fridge and then clocked in. Carl then told me how the truck was and I did a rig check on it. The four of us then talked and then Tindell left and then me, Tim and Carl talked for awhile and then Carl left. Jim then called about going to breakfast when the tones went off for a transformer fire in Lykens Township. Kathy and Enders took that call and Jim said about going to breakfast when they go available. Meanwhile I had already eaten the breakfast that I had packed. They went available about 20 minutes later and then we headed on down to Special Place. I got a glass of water and a side order of toast and that was all that I got there. While we were eating, the tones went off for a sick person in Evill Borough that Kathy and Enders again took. We finished breakfast and then ran down to the Eville station to pick up some supplies. Steve then pulled me in and told me to compare prices with Tri-Anim, EMP, and Moore Medical on some meds that we use and report back to him. I told him I also had another order to place and that I would compare the prices once I got back up to Lykens. Jim and Steve were also working on a going away gag gift for Leah, who is moving to Virigina to teach. Steve then left to do something and Tim said he was ready to head back up to Lykens so we left and headed back up. I stopped at Shell and got fuel in 6-8 and then headed back to the station. Once there I put the supplies away and then started the order with Tri-Anim, and then compared the prices on the meds and then talked to Steve. I then sat down on the couch and me and Tim started watching Season Two of Emergency. We had just finished watching the first episode and started the second one when the tones went off for abdominal pain in Northumberland County. We got in 6-8 and off we went. It was just outside of Klingerstown. We got there and found out it was the driver that wrecked his truck on the mountain about 4 weeks ago, the accident that me and Tim got lost going to. Tim made the decision to fly him out and the LZ was at the Klingerstown Carnival Grounds. We flew him out and then we headed on back. We stopped at the Shell in Gratz so Tim could get some smokes. Steve then called me and told me to come straight down to the Eville station so Leah could see Tim before she left. I told Tim that Steve wanted us to come straight down to the Eville station and he did not tell me why. We got down there and I helped Tim restock his supplies and then I mopped out the back of 6-8 since we got mud all in it. I then saw some supplies sitting in the front office and I put them away and then went into say goodbye to Leah. I did not have a whole lot of shifts with her and I did not work with her much when I ran at 13, but the times I did, she was a extremly good medic. Her and Steve then left and then we left and headed back up to Lykens. We finished watching Side A of Disk 1 of Emergency and then Tim did his chart from the Klingerstown call. We then ran over to Dairy Queen to get some dinner. While we were there, Jim called Tim and told him that Kathy and Flipper were taking a call in Lykens Township. We got back to the station and I went in and sat down on the couch and started eating. Tim went out in the bay to smoke and then I heard him talking to someone. When he came back in he said we had to go down the street and check on someone. So I put my food in the microwave and then got in 6-8 and we went down the road. We checked the lady out and got her loaded up and headed on down to Holy Spirit. As I turned onto Front Street, I looked in the back and I saw Tim walk around the stretcher with full PPE on, the blue paper gown, mask and gloves. He then stuck his head up front threw an isolation kit on the passangers seat for me and told me to call into Holy Spirit for him and tell the, what we had. I called in to Holy Spirit and then when we got over there, I put the isolation kit on. Once we moved her over, I wiped down everything in the unit and then deconed it once we got back to the station. After we got what we needed, we headed on back. I dropped Tim off at his apartment so he could grab a quick shower and then I headed back to the station. I restocked the supplies that he used and then I deconed the back of the unit. I then sat down and finished eating my dinner while I watched TV. Tim then did his second chart and then took a break and sat down on the couch. I had just gotten up to put the Emergency DVD back in when the tones went off around 00:20 hours for abdominal pains in Gratz Borough. I got my stuff back on my belt and then got my boots on and got in 6-8 and off we went. We got there and got the guy loaded up and headed on down to Harrisburg Hospital. After we got what we needed, we headed on back. I stopped at the Uni-Mart on Front Street to Tim could get something to his headache. He then went in the back abd laid down on the bench seat and fell asleep. Once back at the station I asked him if he was coming in and he said no, that he wanted to rest out her. So I went inside and munched on something and watched a litle TV and then went to sleep at 04:00 hours. I was rocked off the couch around 07:15 hours when the tones went off for a structure fire in Eville Borough. It ended up not being a fire, but a mother had accidently locked herself out of the house and had left food on the stove and her five year old was in the house. 6-3 ended up being put in service. Then around 07:40 hours the tones went off for an unconscious person in Washington Township. 6-3 took that one. I decided to get up and get my stuff together. I got the stuff back on my belt and got my boots on and then put my pillow away. I then got my jacket and scope out of 6-8 and brought them into the day room. I then took my suitcase and lunch box out to my car and then came back in. Bowser was there by this time. John then showed up and I clocked out and we talked for a little bit. Then around 07:15 hours the tones went off for a diabetic problem at the Keepler Home in Eville Borough. I left and headed on down to the Eville station to do up my time card. I talked to Steve real quick and then left and headed on home. I called my mother and told her I was leaving Eville and she said she would get dressed and head out to the garage awhile. I got there and she pulled in like 2 minutes later. I then took her home. Once at home we talked for a little bit and then I went to bed to get some sleep. I woke up this afternoon at 16:30 hours. I got out of bed and changed into street clothes. I then read the paper and ate dinner while I watched MASH on TV. I am soon going to head into town to get my hair cut. I will be back on after I get back and will be on late then so if any sexy ladies want to talk to me, just give me a buzz.
