Finally!!

So after 3 shifts of no runs.....I finally got a couple runs. Both runs were medical. 1 was a FDGB (Fall Down Go Boom) the other was an overdose/attempted suicide. Of course both runs were in the middle of the night so I got no sleep. I was bored all day and got no sleep that night. Oh well. A shift had a structure fire at a restaurant with Lafayette F.D. and Greenville F.D. That was last night. I got up to go but by the time I managed to get dressed there were 5 engines on the road. I figured that was more than enough. So stayed back and covered the area.

I did take my 3 boys and my wife's grandma on a medical run the other day. I was picking them up from my brother-in-law's house when we got knocked out on a Heart Attack that was barely a 1/4 mile from where I was. I told grandma to hang on we were going for a ride. We had been to this house before for the same guy having a heart attack. Grandma and the boys thought it was all very exciting. The boys talked about it for a couple days after.

I was so tired from being up all night on the med runs that I missed my sunday run. I was not happy. What could I do though. I could barely keep my eyes open much less go for a long run.
I made up for it today. I ran 6.5 miles this morning then I walked at the zoo all afternoon.

Looking forward to this week........Hydrant testing (Yippee!!.............ugh!), then I have to work on the 4th. Looking forward to fireworks related calls. I think were are grilling out......hamburgers hot dogs, Big fat shrimp, plus the usual french fries, watermelon, and ice cream at Polly's Freeze.
