Inauguration


Today was my first shift back at work since before being ill, and they did a vehicle change so we have a naff old ambulance till ours has had its MOT.
I was working with Roy today, we only had 4 jobs the rest was cover, first job was an elderly male who had fallen over and just needed a hand getting up. Then we had a three car RTA. Three ambulances, a car 2 fire trucks, 6 police cars and a helicopter! we were there some time, it was quite an impact, I think there were some very lucky people there today!
We got back to base and had our meal break just in time to see Barack Obama becoming the 44th President of the USA. I hope he does well. What ever happens I can say I know where I was when the history of America's first African American President was Inaugurated.
We were then sent to a lady who fell over in the bathroom of the nursing home she lives in and managed to break both bones of her lower left leg! Open fractures too (bone sticking out!) once she was safely in hospital it was off to a doctors surgery to a thirty stone man with central chest pain! hmm what did I say before about being over weight?!
Home again, so a few moments down time with the kids before reading myself to sleep.
