Such is life....

Its been a little while since I've posted. And a lot has happened. Had to take care of some issues in Florida so I was gone for a week. Stopped off in Atlanta on my way back since just getting through downtown took and hour and half. aahhh... ATL traffic. Uncle Don was as sweet and generous as ever letting me crash at hisplace with short notice. Meet up with some friends for a couple of drinks and had a good time. The next morning rushed home to try and make my hockey game... seems I'm always racing home from Atlant to make a hockey game. LOL. Peels Palace burned to the ground Friday night and had a several good alarms going on in the area all at once.

Worked a 36 starting on Sunday and finished off with breaking my ankle last night right before getting off shift. Such is life. I am hoping the ortho looks at the xrays and sees something else as I really cant afford to be off work for 2 weeks. Not to mention just sitting around doing nothing will drive me insane. I'm saying my prayers that the ortho will see it my way. I can hobble for a bit... According to the ER doc I fractured my calcaneous.. right in the core of the ankle where the tib-fib meets your heel. Its only unbearable when I'm sleeping for some reason. Am hoping I can go back to work SOON.

On Sunday all of runs were noting extraordinary. All of them were out in boo-foo, so transport times were up there, but just basic ALS assessment type of runs. Did a woman with general weakness who had a diabetic hx, a fall that turned into a witnessed seizure, another fall with diff breathing... OT shift on the last part of my 36 was steady but again nothing challenging.

So now begins my time off until otherwise notified. At least tomorrow we have a mandatory protocol review class and Thursday is a UC Air Care Conference.
