Today
was
great
again.
Keeping
positive!
Also
been
hanging
out
with
one
of
my
friends
who
I
lost
contact
with
for
a
year
or
so
a
lot
lately.
He’s
pretty
awesome.
He’s
the
one
that
has
been
helping
me
a
lot
with
my
outside
exposures
a
lot.
Anyway,
I’ve
been
thinking
about
my
ambulance
station
a
lot
today.
I
miss
it
dearly,
but
I
know
that
I’m
not
ready
to
go
back.
But
I
was
thinking
about
all
the
fun
times
we
have.
One
time
we
were
working
a
Cardiac
Arrest
on
the
3rd
floor
of
a
hotel.
And
we
set
the
person
up,
got
some
lines
in
him,
got
our
pumped
going,
intubated
him,
and
got
him
ready
to
go.
We
went
to
put
the
stretched
in
the
elevator
and
it
wouldn’t
close.
For
10
minutes
we
stood
there
pushing
buttons,
including
the
alarm
button.
The
Medic
and
about
10
other
people
we’re
down
stairs
and
it
was
me
and
2
other
people
on
the
3rd
floor.
Our
partners
thought
we
were
stuck
in
the
elevator
because
we
kept
pushing
the
button.
Eventually
they
figured
out
that
we
were
not
stuck
in
it,
it
just
wouldn’t
shut.
So
after
a
while
we
discovered
that
when
we
came
up
we
knocked
the
sensor
bar
off
and
that
was
why
the
door
wasn’t
shutting.
We
had
called
the
fire
company
and
they
helped
us
carry
the
poor
dude
down
the
stairs.
By
this
time,
we
had
actually
gotten
a
pulse
back
on
the
guy.
Once
we
got
the
guy
down
stairs
and
in
the
back
of
one
of
the
ambulances,
I
took
the
family
back
upstairs
to
grab
their
stuff.
At
this
point
the
elevator
was
working,
however
I
later
found
out
that
they
had
used
a
piece
of
scotch
tape
to
tape
the
sensor
bar
on…
scary…
Anyway,
so
I
come
back
down
and
I
saw
an
ambulance
pulling
out.
I
looked
to
my
right
and
I
saw
one
of
my
favorite
Police
officers
(that’s
another
story
entirely
that
ended
in
him
in
the
E.R)
I
asked
him
if
he
was
going
to
the
E.R?
He
said
“I
can”,
and
started
laughing.
At
this
point
I
pointed
to
the
ambulance
pulling
away
and
said
“good,
because
you
see
that
ambulance
pulling
away,
I’m
supposed
to
be
in
it
right
now.”
So
on
our
way
to
the
hospital
I
called
my
partner
who
had
left
without
me
and
left
this
voicemail
“hey
Terri,
so
um,
you
kinda
left
seen
without
me,
so
I
um,
I’m
en
route
with
PD.
See
ya
when
I
get
there!”
My
buddy
officer
started
cracking
up
and
asked
me
“how
long
til
you’re
off?”
I
responded,
“Well
I’m
working
a
12
hour
shift
that
started
(looks
at
watch)
21
minutes
ago…
Not
a
great
start,
huh?”
At
which
point
he
radioed
to
the
communications
center
that
he
was
en
route
to
the
Hospital
with
an
abandoned
medic.
Good
times,
Good
times.
Hope
you
enjoyed
and
got
a
bit
of
a
laugh
out
of
this
I
have
more
stories
to
tell
:)
But
I'll
leave
at
this
one
for
now
Meg
