Let the Accidents Begin

I went to bed last night around 03:30 hours and got up this afternoon around 12:10 hours. I got out of bed and ate lunch while I read the paper and watched the Michigan vs. Ohio State game. Ohio State ran all over Michigan. I then went back to my room and did a few things on the computer while I watched the end of that game. I then started watching the Penn State vs. Michigan State game. I then made and ate dinner while I continued to watch the game and do a few things online. Then around 18:10 hours the pager went off for an accident with injuries at the intersection of Armstrong Valley Road and Tourist Park Road. I quickly got out of my flannel pj's and got my jeans and sneakers on and then grabbed my wallet, pager and cell phone and then my keys and got in my car and started my moderate drive up to the fire house as the roads were somewhat covered in snow. I got up there and Ray was behind me and Tonita and Wang were standing outside at the hall when I pulled in and parked. I then ran inside and kicked my shoes off and got my bunker pants on. I then grabbed my jacket and helmet. While I was doing this Bubba pulled the Engine out and I heard the Engine bay door be pulled shut. As I headed for the front door, LeeAnn came around the front of the Tanker and went out the front door, and slipped on the ice and fell to the ground. I came out right behind her and almost fell myself but I had the door to hang on to. Once she got up we headed to the Engine as did Ray and off we went. Tom Pottiger and Alf and Kim were already on the scene. We got there and the cars had been moved off of 225 and onto Stone Road. I took the med bag over to the back of Tom's truck so we could bandage the head of the only patient and then 13 got there and me and Kim helped her into the back of the ambulance. We then waited around until PSP got there and then the rollback got there and we left and headed back to the station. Once there we backed in and I changed out of my gear and finished up the run sheet and laid it on the desk along with Lonny's one accountability tag. I then said that I needed to head home and change t-shirts and then I would be back up to the hall to hang out since Jess was having that tarriot card reading. I headed on home, changed shirts and then headed back up to the hall. Once there, along with Jess, Tonita and Wang, it was Katina, LeeAnn, Bubba, Robin, Angie, Troy, Lonny, and the lady and her husband. I just hung out and Angie left shortly after I got there, and then Bubba and Robin headed on home. Then Lonny left and headed on home, then Troy got picked up by someone and headed on over to Tubby's in Duncannon to see Back in Black. I hung out until a little past 21:00 hours and then it was just Jess, Tonita and LeeAnn and they were going to play cards. I said that I was going to head on home since I had to work today at Medic 6 and then left and headed on home. Once at home I took a shower and then watched the Teaxs Tech vs. Oklahoma game and Oklahoma ran all over Texas Tech. I am soon going to bed then as I am tired.
