Good MorningI woke up early this morning and thought to myself, "I haven't posted on my blog in a while now." So I decided to give a brief update on what's been going on in the life of a very busy EMT lately. First off, I'm up early because of a sore throat... the cold stuff is going around I guess I'm finally catching it... also I have to go to work this morning and stay there for a long 24 hours as well. The past several weeks have really been a blur. We've been extremely busy at work, most shifts we've ran at least 12 calls, one shift we hit 21 different calls. It's been the same old stuff for the most part... not to many exciting calls on I've been to just relentless calls of the same old stuff. There was been some interesting calls in my area though... double amputation of the arms, interesting calls that I am excited to go on... even though of course I feel sorry for the people in the situation, it's interesting to me from a medical point of view. I went on a 8 day vacation from work it caused a big dip in my pay since I'm just short of my one year vacation pay days... but that's getting close to. Hard to believe I've been doing this for just short of a year now. I haven't started paramedic school yet. The schools here were shut down because of hurricane katrina. I'm hoping to start in Jan. when the next available class opens... hopefully another hurricane won't ruin those plans. My vacation was wonderful. It did me good to get away from work for 8 days, especially since we've been so busy the past couple of months. I drove 18 hours to Cleveland, OH and stayed there for 5 days. I enjoyed every bit of it, including the drive. Being from the south... the north wasn't what I expected it to be. It wasn't much different from Mississippi. I haven't been out of the state that much, obviously, so I guess you could see why that would surprise me so much. The people where I stayed where very nice and friendly which also surprised me... I've never heard of northern hospitality before. Sure it's more populated... but that's about the only difference. It's time for me to get ready for work so I better get going... I've neglected this blog, and I plan on doing a better job of sharing my stories in the future... besides it just makes me feel better getting things off of my chest and out of my head.
