Tired, but happy. :)

Well, I don't know about the rest of you but I had an interesting night and morning. And I'm tired.... if that interests anyone. Didn't think it probably would though. ;)
Right now I am sitting at work finishing up a reverse 24 and wishing it was 3 already so I could go home. Hannah, Jacob and the girls are coming this afternoon and staying all week and I can't wait! So, I won't be going home and getting any sleep this afternoon but that's okay. I'd rather be with the girls any day. :) I'm sure I'll be getting lots of pictures and video's and maybe eventually they will get posted up. I'm still so far behind on vacation pictures so who knows.... :)
So, I came into work yesterday afternoon and we had a fairly decent evening.... just a couple calls. I guess we had to make up for it though in the night. Between midnight and 5:30 in the morning we ran 5 calls and probably got about 3o minutes of sleep during the whole night. My partner and I decided at 4:30 that we would just wash the truck and work on our reports until morning (since we had to be up at 6 anyway). We got either one or two calls in that time frame and lets just say it was obvious we were extremely tired as we laughed about everything. So, besides being up all night it was a fun evening. :) The only legit call that we got was a little old lady who's O2 sats were in the 60's. The call goes out for a patient having trouble breathing. We get on scene and lady is sitting in her chair on a few liters of O2. She was perfectly fine, talking to us like nothing was wrong. We have her stand and pivot onto the cot and she immediately starts having some serious issues with breathing; so bad that she can hardly tell me what her name is. We get her all taken care of and over to the hospital pretty fast and last I heard she was in ICU. So, that was our good call of the night. Oh, and the really funny thing? :) When we got on scene and walked into the room the staff (I'm assuming it was either staff or someone related to the patient... didn't ever find out), was asking the patient in a very loud voice (patient has trouble hearing): "Do you accept Jesus Christ as your Savior?!" Wow, I don't know if that lady thought the patient was dying or what but that's just a little overboard in my opinion. I have no idea what the patient's reply was, but my partner and I got a pretty good kick out of it. :) What a great way to freak an old lady out....
The rest of our calls were nothing too fantastic and we finally got all caught up on our reports.
Oh, and this morning my new partner and I had an interesting theology discussion. Yeah... it was definitely an eye opener for me. People who don't read the Bible really don't know anything about what they're talking about. I won't go into detail about all we discussed cause we ran over a bunch of different topics in a short amount of time. :-) I can't even remember how we got started on it....
So, that was my night/morning. Don't you all wish you had a job like mine?! ;-) I actually do like my job.... it's a whole lot better than sitting in an office and you never know what hilarious thing either a pt or bystander will say. :-)

Well, 2 more hours and I should be home.... that is, if we don't get a late call. :) Hope everyone is having a fabulous day and enjoying this totally sweet weather! =)
