Tug

On a chase car today covering about 8 cities and as usual I am the wheel chock. Only 1 run all day, but at least it an unusual run. Got called to join the city BLS unit to meet a boat at one of the river docks. It is not a dock any of us are familiar with. The FD have also been dispatched to help cut the locks off a gate in order to get to the dock. Call is for a woman unconscious on a tugboat pushing a barge down the Ohio River. We're meeting up with another tug to take us out there.
She is the "mom" of the ship and the cook. Elderly woman with only known history being diabetic. She is only responsive to loud voice but after briefly fixing her eyes on us, is content to go back to sleep. Sugar is fine, and since she is on the floor of a tug, cant get a rythm. Packaged her pretty tight for the trip back to shore. Am guessing that its an ischemic stroke as her CT shows clean.

City appreciation party is tonight so I'm clocking out early to join in the festivities. Its always a blast, everyone dressing up... good meal and fine spirits on the city tab. We hit the chief's house afterwards as per tradition to continue the party in the hottub. Anything else that happened, I do not claim to remember.... what happens at the chief's house... stays at the chief's house.
