The Price During a Busy Day

I went to bed Tuesday night around 02:00 hours and got up Wednesday morning at 07:10 hours when my alarm went off. I got out of bed and got dressed and grabbed my digital camera and suitcase and took them out to the kitchen. I then packed my lunch and got my Gatorade bottles together. I then left the house around 19:24 hours and headed up to Eville to go to work. I stopped at Koppy's and picked up a paper and then continued to the station. Once there I parked and got my stuff together and took it inside and clocked in. I then put my stuff in the fridge and then did a quick rig check on 6-8. I then put my stuff in 6-8 and then got on the computer to fill out the proper form and I also ate my breakfast. I then read the paper while Jim did a few things. I believe the tones went off around 10:00 hours for a call for the Lykens crew that was a BLS call. The tones then went off again 10:34 hours for a sick person in Mifflin Township. Me and Jim took that and once we got on the scene and got the lady loaded up we took her down to Holy Spirit Hospital, BLS. After we got what we needed, we headed on back. While I had been on Holy Spirit getting the buffer sheet, Jim heard that we had a call in Wiconisco Township that 24 was coming down in to take and it sounded like it was up in the State Game Lands as it was off of Fire Tower Road. We then heard 24 ask County about Life Lion. We thought we heard 6-5 say that they would head that way, but we heard wrong. 6-5 was actually 1/2 a mile behind us on 322 and called in an accident that happened right in front of them and they ended up transporting one to Harrisburg Hospital. Meanwhile we decided to start making our way up to the call in Wiconisco Township. Steve went on the air with the squad to handle the call and we headed up that way to assist him. Jim had me stop at the Shell in Lykens to he could get something to eat since his blood sugar was starting to go low. While we were heading to the scene, County asked us if we could take another call and after checking with Boyer said we could. We then went to the Family Practice Center in Lykens Borough for breathing problems. We got there and got the guy loaded up and took him down to Osteo. I think Lyla is now working for Pinncle Health as I swear she was working as a nurse in the ER. I never got a chance to find out as they we very busy. After we got what we needed, we headed on back. I stopped at Sheetz and got a meatball sub to eat and then we continued on back to the station. Once back at the station, I helped Jim restock and then got on the computer to do my chart. That was when I found out that EmStat was fucked up. I ended up having to use the laptop and disconnect from the wireless internet so I could type my chart. The tones then went of around 16:25 hours for a diabetic problem in Williamstown Borough. 6-5 handled that call. So I started typing my chart when the tones went off again around 16:45 hours for CO Posioning down in Halifax Township with multiple patients. 6-5 got a refusal on the call in Williamstown and started heading down to Halifax to help us. Once on the scene down there, the tones then went off for syncope in Upper Paxton Township. 6-5 diverted to that call and 20-1 came down to assist on the Halifax call, along with Duncannon. All the patients ended up going out BLS and we sent out 8 people. We went available and headed back to Eville. We got back and we weren't in the station long when the tones went off for a sick person in Eville Borough. We got back in 6-8 and off we went. We got there and got the guy loaded up and took him down to Harrisburg Hospital. After we got what we needed, we headed on back. I stopped at Shell and got fuel and then we contiuned back to the station. Once there I ate my lunch that I had packed which now had become my dinner and did my two charts on the computer. I then hosed both units down and drained the drain in the bay and then watched a little bit of TV. I laid down on the couch around 04:20 hours and the tones woke me up around 04:40 hours when the tones went off fo seizures in Washington Township. I got up and got the stuff on my belt and got my boots back on and then we got in 6-8 and off we went. After we got on the scene we got the guy loaded up and took him down to Osteo. After we got what we needed, we headed on back. I stopped at Sheetz and got something to eat for breakfast and then we continued back to the station. Once there I decided to just stay up as it was already 07:00 hours. So I got on the computer to check a few things. Jim then came in and then John came in and I clocked out and after talking for a little bit I left and headed on home as I was tired. The guy from Troutman's was able to come down yesterday to give me an estimate on the car, but unfortantly I was out on a call. When I did get to talk to him I was shocked at the estimate until he explained that there are no aftermarket parts yet for the car, so everything was new and coming from GM. Once at home I changed into pj's and went back to bed to get some sleep. I woke up around 13:50 hours when LeeAnn called my cell phone to see if I could come up to Jean's house to take a look at my Santa chair and I said sure. So I got up and changed into street clothes and headed up to Jean's house. I got there and we discussed a few things and then LeeAnn and Katina took that chair back to the hall and I went back to help. Once there we took the chair in and talked for a little bit and then I left and headed on home. Once at home I read the paper and then got on the computer to print off the pictures of the Squad while I ate dinner. After I was done eating dinner I headed up to the fire hall to work on the poster of the progress done on the Squad for Bubba. While I was up there I helped Lonny unload three filing cabinets and then I helped Bubba load fruit up in his car. I then had to run into Giant and pick up some glue and I got a few other things while I was there. After I got ths stuff I headed back out to the station and finished the poster and then Bubba came in fomr finishing dilvering his fruit. We talked for a little bit and then he left to go home. I asked him where to put the sand bags and he said on the table down in the station, which I did and then headed on home. Once at home I took a shower and am soon going to bed as I am tired.
