This is the first time I have ever started a topic, but after this week I gotta share this!
Had a lot of calls last week EMS and fire. All went as usual. No injuries, etc.
I go to the grocery store, lift a case of bottled water and fell a pop in my thumb. By the time I got home, it was swollen and purple. Looked kinda cool, but hurt.
Next day, on my way to class I managed to find the only hole in the parking lot - down I went, head over teacups. My foot and ankle went into an unnatural position but I think it was just overstretched and bruised (that with my pride). Now along comes security all aout 70 years of age, and various EMT's (some scarier looking that others). I needed help getting up, and I had no idea how bad it was, just needed to regroup and look at it myself. I recruited 2 of my favorite EMT's to give me a hand. Security asked me "do you want an ambulance?" I replied no thank you. After the 4th time I was asked - I said if you call them I am already here. I feel bad now, I think they like calling the ambulance and I bursted their bubble - but the embarrassment would have been too much for me. I also did not realize how many EMT's were at my school. How cool! I also now appreciate them even more, because they all waited a day to make fun of me - I love those guys!! (I also thank god that I just had a pedicure - makes for cuter feet even when bruised!)
Finals are next week and I hope I can walk out my front door without busting anything. Damn, life is safer at work!!!
