Busy

  Yes I am still very much alive people I have not droped off of the face of the earth it is that I have been very busy in between medcal call wich we have had like 8 or so in the last week and that is very un-normal for our town of 1,100 and sandbaging to save our town from being wiped off of the face of the earth. It all started last thursday with storms dumping inches upon inches of rain on us with in minutes plus throw a few tornados in there and wind and i knew we were screwed considering that we were still recovering from the last rainstorm we had so the water had no place to go so roads were being washed away and dams  were barley holding on. friday morning national guard finally showed up to help and just in the nick of time every one needed a break for a awhile it was a long night of helping other towns and rescues and sandbaging. so yes its been a long week so far and I hear the water is supposed to rise anthore foot yet just great.  So Sunday  I was heading back home when my pager decides to go off for a man who is foaming at the mouth and not responsive great anthore PNB I was thinking why are these people dropping like flys?  Well I got there he is coming around great thats a good sign now the seconde problem is trying to get him out of his seconde story apt on a backboard through doorways no wider then me and down a back porch that is no wider then me again and looks like it was built when noah built the ark so as we start heading out on to the porch I hear the worst noise in the world cracking of the porch oh shit I thought Here I go for a ride two storys down with a patient landing on top of me and me becoming a grease spot on the ground or the ambulance below me the porch dropped two or three inches I shoved the patient and the other EMT back through the door  in a heap boy that was close  okay back stairs is no longer an option  how about the front stairs boy that does not look any better also there almost straight down and a ninety degree turn to anthore landing and then out the door okay heres the plan folks since I just hurt my back on the last attempt were going to call the fire dept to help with the seconde attempt down the front stairs any one object good didnt think so so after being on scene for almost fourty five min we finally got him out and on the way to the ER.  So yes it is has been hetic around here and I will try my hardest to write to my loyal readers those who put up with my ramblings of insanity i thank you from the bottom of my heart it means the world to me that I do have people that are interested in what I have to say thank you so much again.
