Back to work!

Today is Christmas eve, and also my first day back at work having had the last tour off on leave. I didn't want to come to work at all, for a start both Beth and Lit'lun are unwell, and for another its always hard going back after a long break. There had been no night crew as all the viruses have taken their toll on our station, my crew mate who is a trainee, and only been on the road three months was already there. Her name is Annie. We managed to stay on station long enough to watch a few programmes then got tipped out to a doctors urgent, a man found collapsed. We took him in to hospital then I tried to drop my God sons Christmas present off but we got another job! this time it was to a woman, also found collapsed and very confused, we took her into hospital too. After our meal break we were sent on cover, (deliberately I feel) to a place two minutes from my God sons home. Yay! I delivered his present and got a photo of him looking very cute dressed up as a pixie, one of Santa's little helpers. Unfortunately we got a job so I couldn't spend much time with them, we were sent to a lady having an asthma attack, she also had a UTI ( wee infection) so I arranged for the doctor to come out and give her a prescription, she didn't want to go into hospital, and the hospitals are heaving with patients so that was a very satisfactory result. On our way back to base we re fueled the ambulance as the petrol stations might be closed tomorrow. The night crew arrived, well, one half of it, Danger mouse had booked sick, Gary who had turned up probably wont last the night! he looked and sounded dreadful poor thing. Still after a quite calm day at work I drove home to see my poorly kids and my Lovely Husband.
